About This Podcast

It's challenging being a parent, and it's particularly challenging as a parent when you work in horseracing. It's 24/7, 365 days a year. So how can we best help people manage being both parents and brilliant members of the racing industry? Following the groundbreaking research project by Women in Racing and Oxford Brookes University in partnership with the Racing Foundation and Kindred Group Plc, in this podcast we'll be exploring new ideas around parenthood and career progression, how to do things differently, the ideas that are shaking up the industry, and why it's vital that working parents are kept within the racing family. We'll be talking to trainers, jockeys, researchers, experts, and a host of the sport's decision makers about their experiences, their stories and how together we can shape a positive future for all families in horseracing.
