George chats … Musley Bank apprentice George Chaloner went along to the Leeds United training ground to film for www.jockeytv.net earlier this month. In one week, he won a race at Royal Ascot, then the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle.But, the following year, the jockey broke his foot when a horse stood on his ankle after a fall on the gallops, and in 2016 he was thrown to the ground after his mount broke down at Wolverhampton.“We were doing 40-45mph turning in, and I was sent into the sand. I joked they should have named a wing after me because I’d been there since it opened,” he laughs.“I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder at the back end of last year. You are out on the track every single day with the same lads. Because I never used to talk to anyone about my emotions, I feel a lot better about myself. Being stuck in the same room at home, watching paint dry, is not what you’re used to.“My partner Shelley Birkett is a jockey and I couldn’t watch her for months after the accident, nor could I watch anybody ride.“I’d get the written commentary on the Racing Post app on my phone. You see them every day, day in day out, you travel up and down the country with them. I really enjoyed it – and it was a shock that it had to be cut short.”Chaloner benefited from the help of three organisations – physical rehabilitation through the Injured Jockeys’ Fund (IJF), sessions with a psychologist organised by the Professional Jockeys’ Association (PJA) and help with a new career from the Jockeys’ Education and Training Scheme.“The support jockeys have is unreal. Jockey George Chaloner statistics and form. Ascot’s a big stage, but that was probably the scariest experience I’ve had,” he said.“Once you’re on a horse, you know what you’ve got to do. Touch wood, I’m getting through it now.As he recovered in hospital with a broken T8 vertebra, Chaloner realised his promising riding career was over.“I think someone was trying to tell me something, I realised the severity of the injuries. He’s an ambassador and a role model.”Chaloner has put on weight and cut down on travelling – he was clocking up about 70,000 miles a year travelling between courses.“I would take off at least four or five pounds in weight before going out to ride through sweatsuits or the sauna,” he said.“I miss the craic with the lads. I was absolutely bricking it going in. I felt lucky on the ward I was on – there were fellas there who weren’t going to walk again, who weren’t going to use their arms again.“I’m walking, talking, I can take my dogs out, but it stopped my career, it stopped the only thing I ever knew.”He suffered harrowing flashbacks for several months.“I’d be falling asleep and I’d just remember falling off the horse, hitting the deck, and waking up,” he says.“I can’t remember getting on the horse, riding the race. Ex-jockey George Chaloner is starting a new career with the management team at Pontefract Racecourse. I’d be worth a fortune in scrap metal.”George Chaloner is talking about the toll of injuries that led to post-traumatic stress disorder and ended his career as a jockey aged just 25.He is calm, matter of fact, showing a maturity that belies his years and helped him recover from a world of nightmares to a renewed love of horse racing.Here, the Royal Ascot-winning rider outlines how he moved on after three heavy falls in less than three years shattered his body and resolve.Chaloner was riding high in 2014.
