Eligibility
JETS is funded by a contribution of all jockeys' prize
money percentages since 1995, with additional support
from The Injured Jockeys Fund. Therefore JETS' support
is available only to jockeys who have been licensed
during that time (and have therefore made contributions
to the Scheme during their race riding careers) or who
are IJF beneficiaries.
You should qualify for assistance IF you are:
 |
A currently
licensed professional jockey (flat, jump, apprentice
or conditional). There are also general guidelines
within these categories which relate to the number
of rides and/or years you have held a licence (since
1995)
|
 |
A former professional
jockey who has retired since 1995 and fulfil the
above race riding criteria
|
 |
A beneficiary of
The Injured Jockeys Fund. Injured Jockeys Fund beneficiaries
must be referred to JETS by their IJF Almoner.
|
If you are not eligible for The
Scheme you can still access our services on a fee-paying
basis. Please contact us
direct for further details on how this operates.
Jets is unable to support jockeys who have been disqualified
(warned off) by The British Horseracing Authority.
However, once any ban periods have been served, eligibility
will be re-opened.
