hello frank iam new into the life of a jockey iam 19 years old and your videos had help me alot! Thank you, greetings from las cruces new mexico!!

1:45 I had always wondered how the Jockeys held the reins- like when they go to use the whip and then have the other hand on the reins. Great video Frankie!!

Thank you so much for liking my jockey lesson videos so much! I am sure I make some more in the future but our 365 day term videos have me so busy. I have my What It Takes To Be A Jockey DVD, do you know about that? It's for sale in the Jockey World website.

Yes Brian, jockeys break from the gate, try and settle and save something for the end, later part of the race get lower to the saddle and push on the horses.

Great comment below about breaking from the gate. I have always wondered about that... how to maintain your balance on that sudden burst of speed. I love your videos! They are very helpful because it seems as though being able to ride thoroughbreds correctly is some sort of secret to those who want to learn - not many people want to take the time to teach it. I am trying to soak in all the horse racing tips that I can before I apply to the NARA in two years :) So, thank you!!

Luis, go to my FrankLovatoJr website. You will see all the info there.

I am 5' even, average jockeys are 5'4"

Hi Frankie! Are you going to upload any more jockey lesson videos? I love them!!!

thanks for your videos,it is very helpful for us

Thank you Matias!

It all depends the horse, you ideally want them to relax with a nice long hold by their withers, but if they are pulling you, you may need to shorten your reins. But if you shorten your reins first, if the horse is aggressive, might make them more aggressive so have to try longer holds first to create a relaxed gallop.

I also have a DVD for sale in Jockey World, see link in video description. Jockey World.org It's called "What It Takes To be A Jockey" Will show you all kinds of stuff.

thank you

this is a great video...I have an ex race horse and we have been playing around with him and my sister has been galloping him and he loves it..... but I know he can go faster and was wondering what is the cue in racing to go faster? we would love to see him go all out!!! haha well thanks for the good video!

I think you will get use to it a bit more, but in stirrups on the box when nothing is moving would cause that. On a real horse when your muscles are constantly breathing and moving, you should not have too much trouble. Hope this helps!

Thank you 123talamantes! Click the Jockey World wesite link in the description area and see my free website to learn more!

Hello sir I like your video best

Hey! I dont know what to do or were to start on becoming a Jocky! Can you plase help?? Or give me any tips? God Bless! Thank You!

Check out Jockey World, you should join too, it's free!

Do you have any advice for sobody who cant get there stirrup length level on a horse and rides ace duece ??? How can you make sure they are level .

I really want to start exercising race horses or just helping out any way possible! Since I was 5 years old its been my dream to race I'm 18 now and it seems impossible. But atleast exercising is a piece of it. I live in western new york and I don't know where to go to ask. I know the race track would just laugh and turn me away.

What if your legs give out on you or you can't stand up for long what do you do??

Go Frankie Go!

Mr. Lovato, Although the equipony was designed for 2-10 year olds, could it be used for practicing racing techniques? thank you for these great educational videos -Colleen

hi frankie, i got my cousins old racing saddle and ive been practicing with a box i found, and my feet keep falling out the stirrups when i put my toes in. how do i stop it?

@Equicizer Was a good video, just watched it to see how to teach, i have to terach apprentices, most annoying, by the way i was just wondering is there steeplechasing in america???????????, never seen it on like the racing tv in america thats all :), i know they do in australia raced there once but never in the usa :)

If you are watching a race, and the jockey is legs outstretched, knees almost locked, hips high in the air, does that mean he/she is not pushing the horse? They don't look to be trying (to me) unless legs bent, body close to the horse, pushing on the neck as you do in the video. If the jockey appears to be doing nothing, is this a strategy to save the horse for the end?

Hi - whats the tip on not going back on the saddle... cant keep my feet straight or towards the front ... They go backwards ....

This would be tough as it all depends the horse and the situation but my other answer should help you :)

@Equicizer nope called a bridge in racing well in england i'm a jockey so i should know really :), like i say in england :)

Hi Cameron, may be someday but they cost that much in materials ;)

Lucas, search all my videos and one may help "Racing Term #69 Cross"

Wow

How tall are you cause I think 4 8

Hey Levato how come you don't want to squeeze with your knees? It gives much better contact with the horse, so you feel it's movements, but as you said gives you less balance... What is better?

Lucas Olsen Lucas, balance is king. Without balance, you're not a good rider. Feeling a horse better by using your knees, I do not understand that.

because if u squeeze with your knees it will spook the horse and it won't stop

i would like to be a jockey

Why can't equicizers be cheaper at least around $950 lol

Do you race with your feet that far in? Their pretty much not even in their!!!

@hannahalexismommy UHHH.. first of al be very carefull race horses can go extremely fast, I would practice your emergency stops first, there are 3.. and then ride like this guy, and just send him (With your arms and hands) if u want even faster u could show the whip a couple times (flick it next to his face slightly) or a shoulder tap if hes being lazy.. be carefull.. good luck

it's not called a "cross" or an "x" its called a bridge, double bridge or single bridge; still liked the vid though :)
