The tragedy happened shortly after the incident occurred during the fifth race of the Glenbeigh Festival, County Kerry, Ireland, on Saturday, September 4.
The emergency services were quick to attend the scene but sadly the teenager died from his injuries.
Tributes have been pouring in for the promising youngster who, just last week rode to victory in the Cahersiveen Races.
One fan took to social media to post: “Words cannot express my sadness and shock for the De Bromhead family. There are just no words absolutely heartbreaking. Thinking of Henry Heather Jacks’s sisters, Henry’s stable staff and Jack’s wide circle of friends in horse racing.”
“May God bless you, Jack.”
