The pupils in 5th and 6th Class had a fantastic opportunity this week to visit Fairyhouse, where they took part in a special Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) Racing Juniors education day. During their visit, they went behind the scenes, exploring the weighroom and getting a look inside the jockeys’ changing area. They also learned about the equipment jockeys use on race days, including boots, back protectors, helmets, and saddles. The experience was made even more memorable when they met a horse trainer and a jockey, who shared valuable insights into their roles and daily work.
