How old do you have to be to get your jockey license? I am turning 13 soon and I have just started exersizing horses. We race endurance so I am usually on arabians but I am training my fathers thoroughbred. Oh, andhow often should you work a horse and for about how long? (I usually do three laps which is six ferlongs for us) Thank you for putting this video up, it helps a lot!
in america the age is 16 but in mexico its age 15 but when you get to mid teen there are two riding schools one is chris mccarron in kentucky and frank garza in newbury park california but until then find a local barn nearest you where can get a leg up before you reach riding age
well,you can apprentice at 13, but you cant race unntil youre 16. And the usual weight is 115-125 lbs. And you exercize the horse 3 times a week, 2 at the trot and once galloping. That was Zenyatta's training(apperently...lol)
