LICENSING
As the governing and regulatory body for horseracing, one of the BHA’s most important roles is the licensing of all participants.
The Licensing Team administers the licensing process for professional trainers, permit holders, full jockeys, apprentices, conditionals and amateur riders.
It also licenses jockeys’, valets, riders’ agents and equine pools, as well as being responsible for overseeing the registering of over 7000 stable staff and the issuing of racecourse stable passes, which is now undertaken on the Authority's behalf by Weatherbys.
From 1st November 2011, the decision of whether or not to grant a licence, permit or registration as an Owner will rest with the Authority, ensuring that all applications are considered fairly and thoroughly and meet strict criteria designed to further protect the integrity of the sport.
In order for an application to be considered by the Authority, applicants, as a minimum, must satisfy the Absolute Requirements as detailed in the Guidance Notes that accompany all applications.
All application forms and guidance notes are available for download in the Licences section of the Resource Centre and the relevant guidelines should be read carefully before any attempt is made to complete the applications.
Applications, where appropriate, will be considered by the Licensing Committee, as detailed in Schedule (A)9 of the Rules of Racing.
Previous decisions and reasons of the Licensing Committee can be found following the link 2010 and 2011.
Should you have any queries relating to the new guidelines, or in regards to licence applications in general, please contact the Licensing Team on 0207 152 0140*, or email licensing@britishhorseracing.com.
*Calls to and from the Licensing Team are recorded.
