My name is Ariana Sienkiewicz, and I had the pleasure of attending the Racing Foundation’s conference on October 2nd at Ascot Racecourse. It was an incredibly insightful experience that gave me a fresh perspective on the racing industry and its future.

The discussions about advancing welfare, fostering diversity, and building a more sustainable sport were especially inspiring.

It was clear how dedicated the British racing industry and Racing Foundation is to driving positive change, and it was fantastic to connect with so many people who share a deep commitment to the future of racing. This experience has motivated me to be part of this important work and I am grateful to Women in Racing and the Racing Foundation for making the funded tickets available to members.

About Ariana

I’ve been around horses for most of my life, but it’s only in the last few years that I’ve managed to turn this passion into a career. This year, I achieved a major milestone by earning my jockey license in Poland – a dream that I’ve worked toward with dedication and a lot of hard work. As an exercise rider and newly licensed jockey, I’m eager to deepen my knowledge of the racing industry and continue developing my skills. Events like this conference are invaluable for building connections and gaining insights that will help me make a meaningful impact in racing. I’m excited to see what the future holds and to be part of a sport that has been such a big part of my life.
