I never thought about the jockeys' perspectives when it comes to horse racing. This short video demonstrates how much dedication and grit it takes not only for the horse but for the partner to make it to the game. Kudos to all of the jockeys out there:)
It takes a lot to be a jockey, and takes a lot more to be a successful one, but the beautiful thing about horse racing is that I gives so many people the opportunity to fulfill their dreams. So many people against the sport that can truly make the world come together in so many ways.
wow she is lucky! I had to be at the track by 4am, and stay at the track all day till sometimes 10 at night to ride the last race! love it though! no regrets!
Are Jockeys a race of people who have been bred over centuries to be as close to dwarves as possible without actually being dwarves? Do they all live underground or in hollowed out trees? How much do you have to pay to buy a jockey on the black market? What do you feed them? Do they get angry when they are domesticated? Once you own one how do you set up your home to make it seem like their natural habitat? What is the best way to dicipline them if they don't do as they are told? Once they get too old to ride can a veterinarian put them down (euthanasia) or do you take them out back like Old Yeller and put one right between their eyes? So many questions about these strange creatures. If you guys could answer a few it would be greatly appreciated.
Super Shy I'll correct your grammar the best I can (No offense) Why do you hit him with this thing?! It's a horse, okay?! It has feelings, just like you!! It hurts!! I think that's what you mean. When you said catch, I wasn't really sure what you meant, but I think you mean hit.
What it takes to be a jockey. Key skills none. Yards will have kids as young as 16 . At that age they will believe anything and trainers can get a lot of work out of them by telling them if they work hard and show dedication they will get their licence. Most of them do get their licence and a ride in a race but it ends there. By that time the trainer will be promising the next kid and so on . Very few go on to have race riding full time jobs and even the ones that do are physical and emotional wrecks . Frankie dettorie ,cocaine addict. Pat Eddery, r..I..p , alcoholic. The horses get a worse deal. Foals are bred and taken from their mothers too early. To see a brood mare missing her baby year after year is a horrible thing to watch. They are then sent away at the age of 1 to a racing yard to be brutally broken in . Most yards do not have they time to back a youngster properly and most of them will not be racing at aged 3 . Many will not even make it to the race track. It is not a sport . It is backward and cruel on every level from the brood mares to the race track and from the stable slave staff to the ill jockeys. The ignorant stinking rich are the ONLY ones who get a thrill for a few hours . For the life of me I wonder , where are our brains when we allow this to go on ? When Will the world move forward and begin to heal from the wickedness that was invented back in the days when ppl would toss piss and shit out the Windows? It's not called sport of kings for nothing . Animals suffering and kids in slave labour all for the rich to have a jolly good DAY out. It's time we finish horse racing for good and the only way would be to understand the reality of it and realise if by not participating in it then it simply can not operate. Each and everyone of us are responsible for kind acts apon each other and we are responsible to ensure that the living things on our earth do not suffer in the name of entertainment and money. Many stable lads have dreadful gambling addictions. Horses do not enjoy racing they are running from fear. They are abnormally bred thus causing so many ills and injuries to them . Sexual abuse and bullying is rife in racing yards and is drug abuse amongst stable staff. PTS and depression along with a broken back is a possibility every hour of every day of the six days a week that the stable staff ride.6am to 6pm with a three hour break One day a fortnight off. For £1000 a month average wage . Horses are magical ,intelligent creatures. How dreadfully wrong it is to use them in this way. They have the power to heal many ills like addiction ,depression and ppl with brain damage can benefit massively. . How utterly ignorant and stupid it is to dismiss the horses abilities to help heal . I will this to stop with every fiber of my being . I stand for change. Are you ready?
Well, one thing is clear, boy or girl if you are tall (more weight) you have a massive disadvantage here. Luckily for me, I like trot. :D Still building the courage to do a slow canter. XD Also, not really a fan of racing. don't understand why would people continue racing horses when you can do it with cars/bikes nowadays.
I think horse racing is so cool, but I don’t like how they treat the horses. Did you see how hard they wack them with that Stick thingy? Or how hard they pull the bit? Beating them doesn’t make them go faster. Imagine running as fast as you possibly can, than someone whipping you in the soft and sensitive flank to go faster. Humans are never pleased. They always want more from these innocent creatures. I’m not trying to be a Karen😂 but I stand my ground 🫡
@@chucknoris2601 fine? Just fine? Ik not all racers are like that but most beet there horses with Woden stick to “make them go faster” no. It just traumatizes them.
that actually makes it more painful, lmao. horses are way more sensitive than humans ( note they can twitch the smallest muscle to flick away flies ) this is just a sick way of covering animal abuse :/
Racing whips are completely different they are not looped and have a padded paddle on the end trust I work in racing and these horse a treated like royalty we would never hurt them
2:07 did it have to be that hard?? I know it's not a real horse but she'll hit it that hard when it's real because she's practiced so much with that much force in her arm. Did that make sense??
It tells everything about this so called "sport" sorry this is just a gambling game, nothing more nothing less. Those people will not know anything about riding and even about horses.
sadly this sport isnt about the care or well being of the horse but all about money... once they hit 4 years old alot of race horses that dont get sold in auction housses go to slaughter homes... dont make sense to me because that horse won them millions but now doesnt they deserve to eat and live a happy life but to them is another mouth to feed and they dont want to put money there at all... gotta have that mansion and 2 million $ car you know
Let me make this crystal clear . Horses feel a slap on the nose,belly and arse by your hand . Let that be the only force of discipline you ever use. Along with voice and body position is key. So body position first then voice and if all that fails then slap with your God given hands and back to voice . Teach like you would a child,firm but with a given confidence. Not any body knows this ,but a few and it is this few who should be near a horse.
Cheers and love, you are one of the few people with sense, those jockeys does not give a shit bout the horses, only thing they see is money. I have a horse too, and I don´t even bring him to a dressage competition, because the so many wrongness of the modern dressage.
@@miakoopmans1083 my stables have just bought an ex race horse and none of that is true. King is extremely strong but will not even trot without a whip. I understand that some people take it to the extreme but the horses are able to handle it with the ones like that woman
When they say “what it takes to be a jockey”that pisses me off because they never say what type of jockey like throughbred,quarter horse or jumpers btw jumpers can’t even stay still on a horse
If your in the USA, go to North American Racing Academy, in Kentucky. You take the 2-3 year course then when you graduate, you to go the professional program where you get your degree.
I suck at Fortnite In racing it is called a whip. In English disciplines it's called a crop. A jockeys whip is foam ended and in some cases has actually has 4 feathers attached to it. The feathers are similar to the size your find in a pillow, and basically more of a rule thing than a function thing. The feathers purpose is to slow the whip down slightly. Not sure how well... but in some states a jockey will be disqualified before they reach the gate for a featherless whip. I don't mean to offend, just wanted to spread some knowledge:)
I really want to be a jockey when I’m older. (Im only 14) but I’m already 5’5 ft so I’m probably too tall and also my whole family says I shouldn’t. Does anyone know if I can still be a jockey? When I’m older or will I be too tall?
Heavenlyone568 it depends on your weight. Jockeys don't have any requirements on height, but weight is a big problem. The short stature you see is usually not natural or healthy but due to malnutrition to the point of stunted growth.

It's a early hours of the morning job, but very rewarding when the horse you rode won the races.if you are still set on being a jockey, the most generous weight allowance in the world us in Japan. I believe the maximum is 130 pounds. Hope this helps:)
I wanted to be a jockey once. I’m also 14 too :D but it’s sooo fuckin hard. Sometimes you have to eat a meal and vomit it up. It’s just so so hard to cut down on weight. I wish you luck tho. I believe in you! :D
I don’t care about money and I like horse racing sometimes things that are really bad is the drugs, I love horses I ride western but I sort of want to be a jockey I don’t think it’s happening tho lol.
Christina they don’t use spurs in racing and they don’t kick them either because their legs are in the stirrups which are super short and don’t reach enough to kick them.
I get that a whip is used to get a horse to move faster and I get that they will need it sometimes but I really don’t understand the point of this, jockeys say that they love their horses but if you love them then why would you whip them?! Everything and Everyone has feeling you know! (But I do understand why you would use a whip, even though I don’t agree with them)
mia animals150 not all jockeys just care about the money. I’m a jockey because I love my horse and I can make a living from looking after and riding my horse
a CROP is just used as an extension of the leg when 1) in a racing position you can't really kick and 2) is often used in schooling when a horse doesn't respect the leg. it doesn't hurt the horse: it's a tool to get them to work better and nicer when their being a pain in the arse... no matter how much we love them.
+Chicken vlogs - Well you haven't used a foam whip then, have you? That's like talking cars and me saying a particular high performance one gives you a smooth ride and you replying no it doesn't because you've driven a different car that gave you a bumpy ride. A modern day, professional jockey's whip is air-cushioned with a fibre glass inner and is felt or foam covered, that doesn't hurt or mark a horse but makes a noise that horses respond to, being that they are creatures of flight......And that's without even taking into account they have an entirely different pain threshold to humans, due to among other things having thicker skins and a natural coat covering. You could hit a human with the current whips and it wouldn't hurt either.
whips actually should never be used like that... they should only be an extension for your hand so if the horse gets really loud and is about to run at you and hurt you badly then you can use it to say NO! but that is all. not to MAKE a horse run faster but obviously you can tell they are already going as fast as they can go so a whip aint gonna do much there
I've never read so much bollocks on here about foam whips and horses having thick skins! Thick fucking idiots talking shite. It's no bloody wonder that this cruel spectacle of a so called king of sport is excepted as a respected sport. There is zero respect for horses,staff and jockeys.
Breyer_horse_ Lexi I’ve read heaps of comments like this so I decided to get all of our horse whips and whip my bear fucking ass with them as hard as possible and it dosent hurt that much.
Yes I have!! I've taken one from a stupid stable lad and whipped him with it shouting DOES IT FUCKING HURT? After I caught him hitting a yearling about the head! Any more stupid questions you'd like to ask me about my 14yrs in racing ?
@@ryleigh995 Wow only 7 times, ok lets hit children too in the school but ONLY 7 times, that´s will be good, they will learn much faster and better I suppose.
Klara Pásztor whips are used in almost every English discipline and some western riders use them. I’ve hit a whip on my leg to see how it feels and it didn’t hurt.
Just please stop saying "Dont use whips" "Whips are abuse!" STOP!. PRO horse riders kniw how to use whips correctly. So when u say "I have used a whip before and I worn ever do it again" its cuz u aren't good enough to use a whip. END OF STORY!!

And if they didn't they'd never win and be broke pretty quick.
Equine Emmy I Agree a normal whip would hurt them but in races they use a foam one
It is not a foam whip,it's a heavy stick and it leaves heavy marks. Have you ever picked up a racing stick ?
Yeah so let's whip the poor exhausted animal to make him go faster , have a word with yourself Korra.
Yes I have!! I've taken one from a stupid stable lad and whipped him with it shouting DOES IT FUCKING HURT? After I caught him hitting a yearling about the head! Any more stupid questions you'd like to ask me about my 14yrs in racing ?
They are practicing to hit a horse which already does it´s best, great, tells literally everything about this sport.
Klara Pásztor a jockey is only allowed to use the whip 7 times during a race.
@@ryleigh995 Wow only 7 times, ok lets hit children too in the school but ONLY 7 times, that´s will be good, they will learn much faster and better I suppose.
Klara Pásztor whips are used in almost every English discipline and some western riders use them. I’ve hit a whip on my leg to see how it feels and it didn’t hurt.
100% agree
Just please stop saying "Dont use whips" "Whips are abuse!" STOP!. PRO horse riders kniw how to use whips correctly. So when u say "I have used a whip before and I worn ever do it again" its cuz u aren't good enough to use a whip. END OF STORY!!
Mmmm....
I wold like to be a cocky but I'm 6ft tall -.- fml.
height doesn't matter! its only weight :)
Um night does matter you can't be over 5,3
Step 1: be short
No duh she barely weighs a 100 lbs. Weight determines how fast your horse can go without tiring
All jockeys weight very little.
Bryan Max yup. I think the weight limit for a women is 110Lbs. Could be wrong though.
Horses don't like fat people after all they have to carry them
I know a really short woman but she needs to lose weight
Um u misspelled, its What it takes to be a MURDERER!!
It’s just abuse and a shite sport
Not a real sport.
While we are on the subject neither is motor "sport".
+RFE agree 100%. Sports are just a game. Horse racing, and horse riding in general are much more demanding than just games.
Lucy Zebrayard isn't that what a jockey does? Sit on a horse and take credit for the horses success?
***** you don't even really have to gallop over a 6 foot fence, just try trotting and you'll see how hard it is
***** just because something is hard dont make it a sport.
***** Which is true. Its the horse that does the work. You just have to be light and beat the crap out of it on race day.
Such a stupid sport
Jealous? You probably are bc you spend your whole life on a screen and don’t even do a sport 😭
Such a stupid sport
