HOW dangerous and pressurised being a jockey can be has been highlighted again. For the men or women who sit on horses guiding them around the track, one thought could be what an easy job that would be, getting paid race after race to ride a horse for a living. However, one bad ride and the public is quick to jump all over the jockey for losing some of their hard earned cash. Have you considered that every time they jump on to a horse they are putting their lives at risk? One fall could severely injure them or take their life.
