About Richard Bevan

A Life in British Horse Racing

Welcome to Richard Bevan Horse Racing — a complete record of my involvement in British horse racing,
documenting a journey that spans stable work, amateur riding, point-to-point racing, and professional National Hunt racing.

Horse racing has been a significant part of my life, both on and off the racecourse. Over the years I worked within
racing yards as a stable lad, cared for and led up racehorses on race days, and progressed through the ranks as an
amateur jockey before riding professionally as a conditional jockey.

This archive has been created to preserve that history and bring together the records, results, and memories accumulated
throughout a racing career. It serves as both a personal record and a snapshot of life within the British racing industry
during the years of my involvement.

From Stable Yard to Racecourse

My racing career began behind the scenes, learning the foundations of the sport through stable work. Working closely
with trainers, staff, and horses provided invaluable experience and a deep understanding of racehorse management
and preparation.

From there, opportunities to ride in races followed. My career included rides in:

• Amateur Flat Racing
• National Hunt Racing
• Point-to-Point Racing
• Professional National Hunt Racing as a Conditional Jockey

Throughout these years I was fortunate to ride a wide variety of horses, compete at racecourses across Britain,
and experience every aspect of racing life, from early morning yard routines to race-day competition.
