I have another equine forum that i was member since 2003, they re wonderful people!!! also asked my equine friends about that too...

Before You Start

We're going to briefly touch base on a few things you should think about before you even begin looking to get on a race horse. Some time in the future we will pick up these topics again for a more in-depth look. You should pay particular attention to the section regarding education. Enjoy!

Passion
When you ask successful athletes what made them successful, you're going to get a multitude of answers: Talent, Persistence, Intelligence, Will Power, Drive, Work Ethic or a Dream. Any one of these will help make you successful. I think most will agree.......... you've gotta have "Passion". If you don't want to do it, really want to do it, you're never going to make it to the "Big Time".
What can be said about Passion? When truly witnessed, it can bring crowds to their feet with tears of joy. It took men to the moon and let Secretariat win the Belmont by 31 lengths. Without it, Jockeys would never continue to fight weight and risk their lives.

The most talented athlete will never excel without Passion!

Age
There's no age minimum when you can start dreaming of riding a race horse and winning the Kentucky Derby, but there are a few laws that do apply. Most states allow young adults to begin working at 16, but each state has regulations governing the age when you can actually start. No state will give you a licence until that time.
The easiest way to find out, is to check with your school guidance counselor. If they don't know (and they should ), call your local board of education. Regardless of how old you are, until you're 18, you're going to need to get your parents or a legal guardian to sign off. No if, ands or buts.

Male or Female
A big percentage of young girls absolutely love horses, which can turn to the thoughts of becoming a Jockey. Boys generally don't entertain the idea until they're older, usually not until they realize that they're too small to play baseball or some other professional sport at a level they've dreamed of. Or someone may have even said ''Hey, you're small, have you ever thought about being a Jockey?''
Any Jockey that has ever ridden against Julie Krone or any one of several other outstanding female Jockeys, will tell you that they can be just as fierce and determined as their male counterparts.

The racing industry is largely biased towards male Jockeys for two reasons. The first is because that's the way it's always been, and the second is because race horses can be and generally are, quite strong. What's interesting, is that they don't always respond to strength and in many cases don't like it. Which brings us to a another interesting point. Most all successful Jockeys are blessed with a certain finesse that enables them to communicate well with horses without resorting to the need for strength. Riders that cannot learn the art of finesse, are usually not the riders who do really well.

Size
If you really want to understand whether you have a fighting chance to be a Jockey, just look at your family. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you've got a big family, guess what? Your going to be to big! You can't ignore genetics.
Think about the weight limits that Jockeys must maintain. In your first year as an apprentice Jockey you shouldn't exceed 105 pounds, and for the first six months maybe only 102. Now, most young riders start at 16 to 17 years old, which we mentioned briefly earlier. If you're 12 now and you weigh 102, that should put you right at....too much by 16. If your parents blew by that when they were 12 years old, you're going to be pushing the envelope.

Most journeyman riders can't exceed 113 depending on where they're riding. In a few states you can get away with a pound or two heavier, but for the vast majority, it's 113 or less. And that's for the rest of your career. If you're not sure, talk to your family doctor. He or she should be able to help you assess your likely size.

The reason that this is so important is that studies have shown that the severity of many of the injuries that Jockeys incur, are directly related to the degree of weight reduction they subject themselves to. I'm sure there will be plenty said on this subject throughout The Jockey.com in the future. Just about every Jockey interviewed has something to say about weight and most of it's not pleasant. So read the interviews and pay attention to what's being said.

Jockey Information
How do I become a jockey?

When The Jockey Club was named, the word jockey referred to anyone having to do with horses. Despite its name, The Jockey Club is not an organization for jockeys, but it is the breed registry for Thoroughbreds in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. To find out more information on becoming a jockey, visit the Jockeys' Guild at The Jockeys' Guild Official Home Page.

Liebling, what does it mean? is it mean welcome AD or welcome back or something?

Since Liebling hasn't responded, Herzlich Willkommen literally means "cordial welcome." It's a greeting, like the one in English, "I cordially welcome you here."
