|---|---|
| What kind of animal abuse/cruelty have you seen in the industry? | I have seen a fair amount I am not going to lie. One of the stable I worked at, when the horses were being naughty, I have seen them punched in the nose/mouth, and the worse I have seen is a horse be whipped in the head, the whip struck its eye, and burst a blood vessel in its eye, so its eye was just all red like a demon, we thought it was gonna lose his eye, but a few days at the vets and he was fine. |
| I have heard of other trainers putting horses in the pool, and shocking them with a cow prodder, because the water makes it hurt them more. They call it 'hitting them up' If any jockey or trainer is found with one of them in their possession, they automatically lose their license. | |
| I hate the cruelty that comes with it, I currently work at a stable where the horses receive no abuse, and it's the reason I work there. | |
| Do you turn people in when you see the abuse? | Unfortunately no, what jamessargeant said |
| I do huntejumpers and i have seen similar abuse. moved barns as well for the same reason. | Yeah it's not jut racing that has abuse, |
| If you don't consider breeding them in a way that makes them prone to injury abuse. | Unfortunately thoroughbreds are bred to be fast, and fast only. The good thing about it, is they do finish growing quicker than most breeds, but talking to a vet, she said that a big draft horse is more suited to racing than thoroughbreds. Meaning that a drafts body would be able to withstand the pressure of racing better than a tb's. |
| This is why i refuse to watch horse racing! Thanks OP for your honesty. | No problem, but don't assume the horses are just abused for no reason. What I mean is that the horses were being extremely naughty, they defiantly deserved a telling off, but theres a difference between that and abuse. |
| Fucking Burnie... | Burnie? |
| Does this sport still attract large crowds? | The G1,2 and 3 races do, but there are a number of small races during the week, and the only people who come down those days to watch are really the owners of the horses. It's coming into summertime, and that's when all the big races are on. |
| What is a typical workday for you? | A typical work day, get up at 3:45am, be at work at 4:20am, head to the track, ride between 1 and 3 horses for my trainer there. Then we had back to our stables, feed the horses, work the rest of the horses on the sand track at the stables. After clean all the waters, and pick up the poo from the paddocks, rake the walkway, and just make everything look all tidy and neat. Then take 1 or 2 horses to the beach to just wade them through the water. Finish work around 10am-12pm, we don't get any breaks either. |
| Jeez. Do they at least pay you decently? | Nope I earn around $400-600 a week, depending on how many hours I do, I get $14 an hour and also work 6 hours a week. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone. But if I ever found myself without a job, I can always turn to track riding because riders are always in demand, for the reason of it being such bad pay for such hard work. |
| This is hopefully my last year riding racehorses, hoping to pursue a career in the police force next year! | |
| Did you say take the horses to the beach? Fuck, I am the wrong species. Nobody ever feeds me, cleans my poo and takes me to the beach. Best day ever might get two of the three but I have to do that myself. Life isn't fair. | Haha yes we do, it's great for them! |
| The horses love it too, I got off my horse and he automatically tried to roll in the water, and after we've waded them through the water, if the horses want we let them roll in the sand. | |
| Well that really sucks. At least you can tell people you've ridden million dollar horses. Good luck with police academy. | Yeah the experience I have gained from being in this industry is awesome and really interesting! and thankyou! I really hope I get in |
| I know nothing about racing in Australia, or about the Australian police forces, but do any of the city police departments have horse mounted officers? Here in the United States, at least in Arkansas, they are pretty popular in cities, particularly in congested areas or during big events since they give the officers the ability to see greater distances, move quickly, and also be somewhat intimidating. Would you consider being a horse mounted officer? | Yes we have them here in Australia, it's quite popular and hard to get into, but I am hoping with my knowledge and experience with horses I will be able to! :) |
| $14 aud? That's below the minimum wage. | Minimum is $12 for my age |
| Have you considered that maybe, economically, that's backwards. High demand and limited supply should equal great pay. | Yes we all know it's backwards! |
| You need a union, sir. | But it is what it is, I can go work freelance and work up to 10 horses a day getting $20 per horse, but it's hard to keep a steady income, the trainers can just stop giving you rides. |
| That having been said, there were periods where I worked for some shitty trainers where I would have rather gouged my eyeball out with a spoon than go to work. | I've been lucky all the trainers I've worked for have been awesome! one of the trainers use to be a very successful jockey and she would ride around with me and show me all techniques and how to handle different horses, I learned so much from her! |
| 4-600 is not bad pay if it is weakly... | For where I live it's quite expensive, so all that money is gone by the end of the week (well i put 200 away into savings each week) but hey I love my job, |
| You will see more severe abuse on the police force. You're young enough to rethink that career decision. Don't take this advice lightly. Good luck in your endeavors. | Could you explain a bit more on the abuse in the police force? |
| Do you hope to ride horses for the police? | Sure do! :) |
| I imagine the work is really hard but 14/h aint that bad for an 18 y/o. Atleast not where I live (Netherlands). That would be roughly 10-12€ per hour. Im 22 and I make about 8/h working in retail. Ofcourse, I get quite a big tax refund every year. I dont know how that works for you. | It's not really the $14 an hour that's hard, but its hard to work enough hours during the week to get enough pay, but it's enough and gets me by :) |
| I'm afraid if you have an IQ over 100 you're not gonna get in. | Haha what makes you say that? |
| No I understand the work is physically demanding. It just sounds like a decent wage but idk how it holds up to the rest of your country. | I would probably be on the same wage if I were to work full time in retail. But for what I want out of life, it's not enough, and I think it's perfectly ok to go for a better paying job. |
| But yeah 26k a year is not much in Australia, like I am in my first year out of school and earning that much, so I know I can end up doing a lot better eventually. | |
| How much (if any) of this industry is actually rigged? I know in Ireland there are a lot of people who won't bet on it as there has been so many allegations of rigged races over the years. Thanks for doing the AMA. | I've heard of a few rigged races, the jockey continually lost on very good horses, when he use to normally win. But apart from that, hardly any, very harsh penalties apply if that sort of thing happens, trainers lose their trainers license, and jockeys lose their jockey license, which to them, is their whole careelife, so 95% don't risk it. |
| Oh really, I thought it would be more common. No rigging would occur in the big races because there is more incentive to win but in the smaller races you could make more money as a jockey or owner by throwing the race. But yeah how tall are you? And would you of become a jockey given the chance? And riding a horse looks really tough, like riding a horse in a gallop seems like it would require so much core strength, how tough is it? | The stable I work at now, we race in most of the smaller races, and I haven't heard of any rigging and we don't do it, but who knows maybe there is, I'm not involved in that sort of stuff in this industry! |
| I am 5'8, if I was short enough I would become a jockey in a heartbeat! but I weigh 143lb, and I am not over weight, to be a jockey you want to sit around 110lb! | |
| Oh man, soo much core strength, I have abs from just riding racehorses! you don't realise how hard you're working your own body till after the gallop because you get such an adrenaline rush. | |
| But if u were to lose your license I doesn't sound like it would be that bad, considering the long hours of hard work | But then they wouldn't have a job, they would lose their whole career and life. |
| In what country do you race? i just visited toowoomba (queensland) yesterday to see my fathers horses, and if you've raced in different countries are there any notable differences? | I don't race, I just train the horse up to race fitness level. But I work in Western Australia. I know that over east, you race clockwise, and in WA we race anti clockwise, but that' the only difference I know. |
| A jockey I work with, has just come back from 11months in england, and she said it's a lot different over there. For starters, here we ride 2, maybe 3 horses at a time on the track. But in England she said there could be 60 horses and riders going around in one big group. | |
| Hey, since you work in australia, do you happen to know a horse called "Red Dazzler" ? | Unfortunately not! |
| Thank you for replying :D, also sorry for not reading the part where you said you aren't a jockey. | I just looked him up, and he is a 2yo and just ran a trial at larkhill, is that the right horse? I go to larkhill track is the track we train at also. |
| Link to eurekastud.com.au. | Nice! Don't know who I was looking at haha, |
| My dad owns him, im actually quite jealous of your job, i love horses but living in the suburbs they are basically aliens. something special about horses. | That's wicked! |
| I live and work Rural, but up in the city there a blocks of land that are like 1/4 of an acre, and have stables, they just walk their horses to track each morning! | |
| I like being rural and working the horse on a sand track rather than going to the actual race track every day. | |
| Dang, thats pretty cool, i have so many more questions but ill stop, thanks for talking with me :D. | Go ahead and ask! I am more than happy to answer :) |
| Although I am heading out soon so if I just stop replying I'm not ignoring you | |
| Hardest fall? ever do any showing or jumping? | I have been super lucky with falls! Only had (touchwood) 5 falls so far, lots and lots of near falls though :P. |
| Im very jealous. i used to show quite a bit. i love hitting the barn before sunrise, the smell of horses hay & leather. | But hardest was walking out on a filly, she jacked up, put her head onto her chest ran backwards quickly, while rearing up and trying to spin. She ended up falling over sideways, my leg was trapped under body, I remember it all in slow motion and just thinking to be calm and weight for her to get up, then get the fuck out the way! haha, one of the workers said if I hadn't of moved to quick I would have gotten kicked in the head! |
| For personal riding, western, english, or the weird hybrid style saddle? | I did do eventing, but I recently sold my horse (to Olympian Sonja Johnson!) I sold him so I could save up money and just enjoy being 18 and go out every weekend, and he is for a serious competitor, he has 4* eventing potential but I am not good enough to get to that height. So he is now in a home where he will reach his full potential! :) |
| What's the difference between a jockey and a horse racer? | A jockey is someone who actually rides the horses in the race. horse racer, or I would say track rider, is someone who trains the horses. Rides them everyday and looks after them to get the horse to a fitness level o they can race. |
| Probably a stupid question but how much communication is there between the jockey and the track rider throughout the training of a horse? And is it possible for someone to be both a track rider and a jockey? | Sometimes the jockey will gallop the horse at the track, other times the jockey, while I am walking the horse around the parade area ready to race, the trainer is telling the jockey about the horse and how to ride it. So not very much! another reason why jockeys are so skilled. |
| Yes it is possible for someone to be both, Jockeys come down the track in the morning and ride horses for trainers down there. | |
| How did you first get hired as an exercise rider? | My sister worked them before I did, so I started out on saturdays when I was 14 working with her to earn some money, and then sort of just stayed. |
| How much do you weigh? | I am 172cm tall and weigh 65kg |
| 5' 6" 143lbs. | I think I am 5'8, but if I wanted to be a jockey I would have to sit at around 110lb, that ain't gonna happen with my height! hahah |
| Which stable do you ride for? I work for an online racing bookie in Melbourne :) | That's cool! I use to work at Grant Williams, but now work for a smaller place with Kelly Grantham :) |
| Ah ok. Grant Williams trained Western Jewel yeah? Perth Cup winner I believe. | Yeah he did, I got to ride her! I was working that afternoon she won, my and my friend were sitting inside watching it, he had 3 or 4 horses in the Perth cup, and out of them all we did not expect her to win, it was a very exciting day! :) |
| Haha congratulations! Don't know if you saw, but one of my old favourites Playing God just won at Ascot at 20/1. I backed that horse quite a few times when it came over to Melbourne for the Autumn Carnival. Good to see him get another win! | I must of missed it! but he would have raced at Belmont, Belmont is our winter track, hasn't been any racing at Ascot yet, but it's always great to see your favorites win! My two favorite horses are Galaxy Prince, and Desert Palace :) |
| Was definitely Ascot, 9 races there today :) Do Grant Williams horses races in those pink colours with the white X? | Shows how much I know then! didn't realise they were back racing at Ascot! I was supposed to go strap today for a horse called free time, but woke up really sick. |
| Most of Grant's horses have those colours, but it's not his own colours, it's a guy called Bob, don't know his last name. But Grant trains a lot of his horses, other trainers also have some of Bob's horse and use the same colours. I can't actually remember what grant's personal colours were. | |
| Just wondering what group 1 winners you have been lucky enough to have ridden? | A mare called Western Jewel, she won a G1 in 2011, Although the race she won, was changed in 2012 to a G2. |
| Another horse called Lord's Ransom, he was just retired this year. Actually I just looked him up, he hasn't one a G1, raced in a few, but won a few G2, he raced until he was 8 going on 9! | |
| Another horse called Ranger, he is THE most laziest race horse, yet he is a superstar! | |
| I think those are the Winners, but I have ridden a number of G1 place getters and even runners! It's because when we have a G2 or G1 race, security guards come and watch the horses that are racing to make sure you don't give them anything illegal. | |
| Cheers for the reply, I know Ranger well, have torn up plenty backing him before. 2011 Kingston Town stakes, where Playing God went to the lead at the top of the straght and Ranger just couldn't get there coming from way back. Funny how you can remember things like that. | Hahah yeah it is! it's the style a lot of Grant's horses run at, from the back. My last memory of Ranger before moving stables, was I was riding next to him with Grant's apprentice jockey who has come over from Singapore, and it had been raining all night so there was a puddle on the sand track. Ross (his stable name) or Ranger as you know him, lept over the puddle, then took off with his head between his knees bucking! |
| He is real cheeky with stuff like that :) | |
| Is it true the horse is made to urinate and ejaculate before a race to make him lighter? | Hahaha, no that's illegal. Never heard of the ejaculate thing before. |
| But before we gallop them, only some of the horses get stuff called Lasix (I could be spelling it wrong) it's for horses that bleed out their nose. It's hard work for the horses, and they end up breathing so hard that it can burst a blood vessel in their lungs. As they blow out through their nose the blood is blown up. For a horse to be bleeding, even a trickle 5min after they raced will normally result in them being banned from racing, for the blood to come out that quick would mean the horse would be almost drowning in their own blood. | |
| But this Lasix stuff does make them urinate, and if given to much can make the horse dehydrated. It's also illegal to race on Lasix in Western Australia. | |
| I took an ex race horse in for rehabilitation and to re-break him. Hes fantastic now, but has no voice box, someone said this is common practice to take the voice boxes out. Is this true? Why? | It's called a tie back surgery, not many horses get them, but it helps with their breathing if they struggle, or if the 'flap' that is tied back doesn't work correctly. What I mean, is when the horse eats or drinks the flap covers the horses air way so food and water doesn't go down to their lungs, sometimes when they start breathing the hard the flap will obstruct the airway and the horse will struggle to breath. |
| Does his food and water come out of his nose? it's very common for that to happen to horses who have had a tie back surgery. | |
| Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck, or 100 duck-size horses? | I'm not a jockey, I just help train them :) |
| Defiantly a one horse sized duck, use to dealing with animals that size! | |
| As a long time equestrian who's always wanted to get the chance to work in the racing industry, can you tell me how you started? | I started because my sister got into it and I wanted to earn some money so I went to work on weekends and before school, and just all progressed from there. |
| What is the typical weight you'd need to get down to? | For what I do, I don't need to be a specific weight, but obviously I can't be overweight. |
| Did you ride through high school? | Yeah I use to work 2 school mornings a week, started at 5am, finished at 7:30, |
| Cool AMA! what kind of training must a Jockey go through? What makes a racehorse the 'winning horse'? | I'm not a jockey, but in Australia, jockeys start off as apprentice jockeys for 4 years. They go to a school once a week, and go to fitness classes with other apprentices once a week. They have to do atleast 30 trial races, sometimes they might have to do 60 or more for officials to sign them off and then they begin race riding, still staying an apprentice. Apprentice jockeys have a 4kg claim in racing, meaning if the horse is to be ridden at 54kg, the apprentice is allowed to ride the horse at 50kg. |
| Interesting anecdote (hope it wasn't too long). In light of that, just how tiring is it during a long race and how do you condition yourself (other than riding)? | Jockeys work extremely hard and have to be very fit |
| Generally, what is it like to ride young fit thoroughbreds that spend most of their time in a stall? Do you have to deal with a lot of unpleasant behavioral issues or are most of the horses fairly businesslike to ride? | Well when they first come in, their first day of being ridden they will be perfect, normally well behaved and just really cautious of everything. |
| Second day they are super naughty, and from then on they are a bundle of energy, after the first few weeks they become a nice ride, well if they are a nice horse. | |
| What is the male-female ratio among exercise riders and jockeys? I've always gotten the impression that it is still a very male-dominated field. | There is probably around 2 or 3 female jockeys in a race of say 10 people. |
| What's your favorite thing about the industry? Who's the coolest person you've met through the industry? | Coolest thing, pretty much is just understanding how it all works. |
| I haven't actually met anyone famous or anything in the industry, but i've met a lot of really rich people :P. | |
| My family used to own a harness race horse when we were kids, and apparently some people used to "shake" the horses, which meant running a tube down into their stomach and filling them with baking soda. It supposedly helped remove lactic acid from muscle tissue so the horses had better endurance during the race. It was illegal, of course, and apparently any time the inspector would show up you'd see a couple of owners loading their horses back into the trucks so they wouldn't get caught. Have you heard of this before/is it common in that type of horse racing? | This is the first I have heard of it! that's actually quite interesting though. |
| The only time we have a tube down a horses stomach is when we routinely have the vet out to oil the horses. The vet pumps oil into their stomach which flushes out any sand or blockages and prevents the horses from having colic | |
| Would you have done anything differently as you developed experience? If you could jump into any other job you wanted right now, what would it be? | Probably gotten out of this industry haha. |
| And into the police force, preferably mounted police :) | |
| I come from car and motorcycle racing and the skill is obvious (well maybe it's not obvious in NASCAR), but I just don't get it from a horse riding perspective. Can you explain it in ways people that aren't involved can understand? | These jockeys jump on a horse that a lot of the time they've never ridden before, they don't know how the goes round or how it normally feels. The horse is galloping in a group of horses, it wants to run, so the jockey has to hold the horse back, sometimes they can't if the horse is too strong, and if the horse gets to close to the horse in front they clip heels and both horses can go fall down, which can result in both horse and jockey dying. They have seconds to make decisions while riding which could be a difference of life and death. Jockeys maneuver the horse through the pack, they can get boxed in or get stuck 3 deep and it depends on the jockeys ability to be able to get the horse out of the situation. So they have to control a 500+kg animal that they don't know much about if it's not a regular ride, maneuver the horse through the field, keep the horse happy, it might not like being at the back of the field or it might prefer that, whilst watching out around them for what the other jockeys are doing and make sure they aren't interfering or getting to close to them and make sure other jockeys aren't doing the same. |
| My grandmother always says the sport needs another triple crown winner. Do you agree that this could give horse racing a needed boost? | I think another triple crown winner would be super exciting! |
| Are you friends with any more well known jockeys like Garret Gomez or Pat Day? | I'm not friends with any super well known jockeys, but I worked for Alana Williams, who was probably the best female jockey in Australia! |
| Are you male or female? How much sexism do you see on the backside? I know in the US, while it's exponentially better than it was in the past (women are now actually allowed on the backside and can gallop/race/train/walk hots ect), it still exists in peoples attitudes. Edit: how do you feel about people who want to ban racing all together? | Female, there is a whole heap of sexism. A trainer told my female friend who is an apprentice jockey that when she races to try and look like a boy and ride like a boy, that will help her get more rides and become more noticed. It is defiantly still dominated by male jockeys, but there are more and more female jockeys every year. People who want to ban racing all together, well, for starters thats never going to happen, there is so much money in racing. But I think everyone can have their own opinion, but it annoys me how it's often people who bag out this industry have no idea what it's like. The trainers and jockeys love what they do, they have to to be successful, it's their life not just a job. |
| I work in the equine supplements industry and I wanted to ask what kinds of supplements your horses use? Feed balancers, joint supplements. etc? It would be great, if you as a professional horse rider, could give some insights and tell me what is missing in the supplements market? | Racehorses at the stables I work at don't actually get a lot of supplements, my boss makes her own miss up, and adds a few things like livermol (sp?) and garlic, but that's all I know for what she feeds. With my own performance horse I use livermol and a magnesium powder, stuff called topline, and another powder to help strengthen his hooves. |
| I dated someone that does your job, and I couldn't do it for five times what they pay you. From getting up way too fucking early, to all the physical injury you have, and will receive doing this? It's totally not worth it. | If you love it though it's alright. |
| Been many times when I've gone out friday nights and gone to work still drunk :P | |
| Do you have a favorite horse? | Favorite horse is Galaxy Prince. |
| Do you own a horse of your own? | Yes I do own a horse, he is 20yo and semi retired, my other horse who I just sold to an Olympian, is a 7yo ex racehorse. |
| How do you prevent/deal with injures on the track? | Prevent injuries by wearing a helmet and body vest, having common sense also helps as well :P |
| I meant injuries on the horse, but that's nice to know as well. Do you think the horses like to race? Or do you think they would rather be in the pasture? | When a horse gallops sometimes their fetlocks hit their bumpers and that can cause rubbing, so for races we bandage up their fetlocks so it doesn't do that, some horses that also tend to knock their legs we put boots on them. |
| Apart from that their isn't much else we can do to prevent injuries. | |
| All the good and well known horses do enjoy racing, it's why they are good. But not all horses do, I have seen so many horses come through with heaps of potential, and they get into the race and don't try at all because they don't enjoy it. | |
| I think majority of the horses would actually prefer to just be in a pasture, that goes for performance horses such as eventers and showjumpers. | |
| My old math teacher grew up around jockeys. She said they would do weird stuff to keep their weight down. Have you seen anybody try something dangerous to stay lean? | Drugs and bulimia are probably the worst |
| Bute has to stand for clembuterol, another thing we commonly tested for. It's all coming back to me, especially the smell of month old horse piss, lol. | Yeah we all have short names for the drugs, when I look at the bottles I don't even know how to pronounce them lol! |
| Bute would be very common, at my old stable we would give it to the horses after they raced so in the morning if they were stiff and muscle sore it wouldn't hurt so much | |
| Im late but if you see my question: How much does the racing depend in the horse and how much on the rider (percentage wise)? | Mostly on the horse, seen some great horses win with terrible jockeys! |
| But in saying that the jockey does a shit load of work, and it makes a huge difference on how the horse goes. | |
| But if you have a slow horse and a good jockey, the horse isn't going to magically win, | |
| How do I get a job like yours??? | Ask horse people if they know of any racehorse trainers looking for a worker |
| Dick Francis (or his wife) wrote a great deal about horse racing and the life of jockeys. Are your lives really that full of mystery and intregue? What's an interesting situation you've been in because of your job? | Jockeys lives are very full on. They work pretty much 7 days a week. |
| I think all of it is pretty interesting, people are quick to judge the racing industry, but half the time they don't know how it all works. But what I find interesting is when horses run in a G1 or G2 race security guards actually come to the stable to watch them to make sure they aren't given drugs of any sort and everyone has to sign some forms to say that we worked that morning. It's also pretty cool that because of this job I have gotten to ride some extremely well bred horses and well known horses! (well, well known where I live) | |
| Thank you for doing an AMA - I've always dreamt of being a jockey, but I'm too tall. I didn't that you could be taller than jockey height and still be a track rider! I've been riding horses as far back as I can remember. Do you have any horses of your own? | It's different depending on what country you live in I think. In Australia you can be any height and weight to be a track rider, but I've heard in other countries you need to a certain weight. |
| Has a horse ever fallen while you were riding it? What happened? | I had one that ran backwards and tried to rear and spin, she ended up falling on her side and my leg was pinned under her. We were both fine, bit bruised though. |
| So many times the horses i've been riding have tripped in the sand and nearly face planted it into the ground, that's a scary feeling! makes your heart jump everytime because if they were to fall over fully, well your f*cked is one way to put it haha |
