All riders must have a Riders Qualification Certificate (RQC) for the current season before they can ride in a point-to-point. The RQC is proof that riders are qualified to ride in point-to-point races.
All RQC applicants must complete the Declaration of Health on pages 7-9. Riders falling into any of the categories below will also have to submit a BHA Medical Form:
Medicals can only be undertaken by a GP who has access to your NHS Medical records summary.
It has become apparent over recent years that riders holding RQC and some Amateur licences take longer to rehabilitate and return to riding after injury than their professional colleagues, as their fitness levels are much lower. There is significant evidence to support the relationship between riding performance, risk of falls and injuries and athletic fitness.
The Injured Jockeys Fund are key partners in promoting health and wellbeing and have developed the attached guidance for riders. This enables jockeys to assess their own fitness and address any deficits which may make them more vulnerable to accidents or injury, and in turn aid the speed of recovery.
In addition to a medical, first-time riders and those who have not ridden in a race over hurdles or fences for five years or more, need to undergo a rider assessment.
The PPA holds an insurance policy that provides liability insurance for jockeys whilst participating in point-to-points and completing their Rider Assessment. A Personal Accident Insurance policy is also in force for jockeys from weigh out to weigh in which provides limited cover for injury and loss of earnings. It is strongly recommended that where possible you have private insurance. Anyone who has held a licence and ridden in point-to-points is entitled to help from the Injured Jockeys Fund.

Sponsored riders must complete form RSS1 and return it to the PPA. Once registration riders can order equipment directly from one of the PPA approved suppliers.
Regulations, instructions and amendments for the coming season.
Due to changes in Irish Point-to-Point insurance, any GB rider looking to ride in Irish point-to-points must have a legally witnessed waiver completed in advance of riding.

The Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF) plays a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of everyone who rides in point-to-point racing. Although point-to-point jockeys are amateur riders, they face the same physical and mental challenges as professionals and the IJF is there to help if things go wrong.
Through its network of Oaksey House, Jack Berry House, and Peter O’Sullevan House, the IJF provides access to world-class rehabilitation, physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, and mental health support. Point-to-point jockeys who are injured can receive expert treatment and guidance to help them recover safely and return to the saddle.
Beyond injury recovery, the IJF also offers pastoral care and wellbeing support, helping riders manage the demands of training, racing, and everyday life. Their work ensures that everyone in the racing community, whether professional, amateur, or retired, has access to the care they need.
Point-to-point racing relies on the dedication and bravery of its riders, and thanks to the IJF, those riders can race knowing there’s a trusted team ready to help them when they need it most.
