I'm almost 14 and been dying to ride... I use to when I was 6-7yrs old then stopped, only took basic English lessons and 2lessons last year since. It sucks, I'm loosing hope. My parents think it's a waste. My b-day may be the only time,or Christmas, when I get money. I plan on buying some gear and just going for what I love and see how far I get. 6-7yrs and I'm still interested in riding :)

i ways always small and skinny and wanted to be a jockey, but i asked my parents when i was like 13 and they said it cost to much to train with horses. so i was wondering if there is any way that i could get some lessons for a low price?

Hiya Mr Lovato , i was an amatuer jockey over here that mean under national hunt rules i started on the flat , i was always made too bend my knee always , no matter what yard i was in the idea being if the horse spooks you got your knees or props the last thing trainers wanted was loose ones, now im starting back at it after leaving forever LOL , i think we all leave for ever and dont, need my feet but notice first time i took a vid i bend the knee , and lie low , 20 years wrong ? hope not

@Amelia2010 There Is No height Limit, As Long as You can Make The Weight Limit Then Your Fine. Although There usually around 4'10 to 5'3, im pretty sure there was jockey richard something who was 5;10
