- Teenager Khadijah Mellah became the first female British Muslim jockey to win a competitive race in the UK when she claimed the 2019 Magnolia Cup at Goodwood Racecourse on August 1.
Hailing from Peckham in London, UK, Mellah started her racing journey at the Ebony Horse Club in Brixton, a charity that uses the power of horses to raise the aspirations, life skills, education and well being of young people.
The 18-year-old's inspirational story has touched the lives of many people, including Oli Bell, patron of Ebony Horse Club, and Naomi Howgate, a riding instructor from the Club too.

How islam matters here?
Why bring religion into it? Just makes me want to resent you.
What a terrific young woman. Humble and confident at the same time. Amazing
This is a brilliant documentary! So nice to be able to follow Khadijah's story and see her win. Amazing achievement! And well done to the film crew for a very good piece of work here :)
Fantastic video - many thanks. Khadijah just grows on you - so sane, so enthusiastic, so grounded and so beautiful. Her rapport with horses proves she is a gifted child who will succeed at everything and anything she tries for.

Trying too come Hong Kong not female jocky hier
I'm confused. Gambling is considered haram, right? And we're not allowed to invest in companies that sell alcohol, right? So how is being part of a gambling industry suddenly not religiously problematic? The animal she is riding has people betting money on whether it will win or not. Horses are no longer a fundamental resource for wars, so encouraging their training and developing faster ones is not the necessity I once was which apparently relaxed the restrictions on gambling wayyyy back in the day. People gamble money on the horses and then they can't pay their rent and it ends up causing harm to society just like any other form of gambling. It becomes an addiction that breaks families. But suddenly it's OK to be an enabler.
Let’s think of the punishment of the horse ......a creation of Allah
Oh shut up
The prophet rode horses and looked after them
I am not a fan of racing. Seen too many broken legs. Racing such young animals that have such delicate legs and they haven't finished their growth. So many that don't make it as racers end up as meat because they aren't fast enough. I can't enjoy that kind of racing. I don't think the prophet would like the racing industry. Horseback riding in a sunnah. Riding, swimming, and archery. But there has been so much harm in racing babies. Plus the gambling that goes on.
It's all women? And not seasoned riders? Okie dokie.
Where are all the bra burning spare rib emancipated women of the 70's. Not a word from them, on a young woman proudly displaying a symbol of female oppression.
Great achievement by a young girl, but the Hijab ? Backward.
Have you ever spent time with a person that wears the hijab out of her own will? The oppression comes from people that judge others because of their own ignorance.
Hijab is not oppression, you have misunderstood it. Although many cultures have misused it to mistreat women it itself is not the issue, modesty in religion and the veil has always been a way for a woman to express her faith to God even including religions such as Christianity.
But its not a woman's expression of faith if its not her choice so it should never be forced otherwise it defeats the purpose
On the contrary, the fact that you insulted part of her religion is whats really backward here.
If a woman can choose to wear a bikini surely a woman can also choose to wear a hijab 🙄
So you want to tell people what they are not allowed to wear. I've met plenty of people that chose to wear it. I know it must be a huge shock but there are feminists who wear headscarf. 'Cuz it's their body and they get to choose who sees what.
There is a two panel cartoon. One side is a woman in high heels and skimpy clothes and the other side is a woman covered from head to toe with only her eyes showing. They are looking at each other and the thought bubbles show us that they are both thinking the same thing. Something like: Wow, she is so oppressed!
