Question
hi. my name is munna. i am from india. i want to become a thoroughbred jockey in USA. i have passed 10th, 11th, 12th with 75%. i will be writing my TOEFL exam in a couple of days to come to USA. my age is 24 years. my height is 5feet 7inch. weight is 67kg. i will reduce my weight to 50kg. i will learn basic english riding here in india. so, can i become a jockey in USA? do i need to be a resident of USA? do american jockeys get paid well? is the job demanding and has scope in future? do i need to join any jockey training school? please answer sir!!!

Answer
hi well if you do come to the us, you should go to the race track and try to get a job for a trainer who needs a good exercise boy to gallop horses. then after the trainer see's how you can ride a horse he may help you get your jocks license. your weight will will have to be looked at when you are galloping horses here in the us. there is a weight amount you must meet to ride in a race.you might want to attend a jockey school also . thanks ED HESS
