Work or family? FACT 1: only one half of the human population can have babies

FACT 2: many women working in the horseracing and breeding industries, in all roles and at all levels, have found that the jobs in the industry are often incompatible with starting a family and ongoing family life FACT 3: women and parents are leaving employment in the industry and seeking roles elsewhere in order to better manage the demands of family life FACT 4: British horseracing, similar to many industries, is suffering a recruitment drive
