Jockeys Employment Case Studies

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.
