Emergency services were quick to the scene on Rossbeigh beach – in County Kerry, Ireland – but sadly the youngster died from his injuries.
The rest of the racing programme was abandoned immediately after the accident and the second day of the festival – which was scheduled for Sunday – has been cancelled.
Jack was a promising young rider who would regularly ride out for his father in their Knockeen stables in Waterford.
The teen rode a winner at the Cahirciveen Races just last weekend.
