jockeys

Jockeys are professional athletes who ride horses in racing events. Their role involves guiding the horse during a race, managing its speed, and positioning to maximize performance. They need excellent riding skills, understanding of horse behavior, and strategic thinking to outmaneuver competitors. Jockeys often wear lightweight attire to reduce weight and improve race speed. Success depends on their technique, experience, and the bond they develop with their horses. Beyond riding, they also play a key role in the training process, helping to prepare horses for competition and ensuring their safety during races.
