Story
At Baillie Haylage, we have always believed in supporting our customers and their incredible teams who make the racing industry what it is. This December, we are launching a fundraiser in partnership with the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF).
The Injured Jockeys Fund provides financial assistance and rehabilitation to jockeys who have suffered life-changing injuries while pursuing their profession. The importance of the Injured Jockeys Fund to the racing community cannot be overstated, as it offers crucial support to injured jockeys and their families during challenging times.
Baillie Haylage’s loyal customer, Kim Bailey shared:
“JP [McNamara] used to ride for me, and his fall [in 2006] was my first real involvement with how the IJF worked and I just cannot give enough praise to what this remarkable charity, the IJF, did for JP and his family and as a result the IJF is number one charity to support.”
In more recent times following Lauren Hawkins fall this year “I must say again how wonderful the Injured Jockeys Fund and their Team have been to Lauren's family. Their support has been brilliant and hugely appreciated.”
Baillie Haylage’s Company Director, Robert Baillie shared:
“Baillie Haylage is very pleased to support the Injured Jockeys Fund as their support to jockeys and to their families is immeasurable.
Our intention is to raise as much money as possible for this valuable and necessary organisation by contacting our customers and others who are linked to the equestrian industry. I do hope that many individuals and businesses will come on board with us to support this very important organisation. All donations are very much appreciated.”
