It's the Cheltenham festival and according to rugby international Sean O'Brien, jockeys are braver and stronger than rugby players, falling off breaking bones and getting back up again. As part of a charity race in Cheltenham on Thursday Hayley O'Connor from Ladbrokes is learning to become a jockey from scratch.

I met Hayley O'Connor as she trained to become a jockey with legendary trainer Jessica Harrington in county Kildare.
