Too small to be jockey

[StephanieAnn]

People have always joked that I should be a jockey due to my height, barely 5'0 and that I generally fluctuate between 7 - 7.5 stones so lightweight enough.

Looking at jockeys nowadays they don't seem to be as small or light as they used to and that got me thinking, is it actually possible to be too small to be a jockey? Or would you just have weights added on?

Hmmm...

I think flat jockeys are much smaller than NH jockeys as flat jockeys have to carry much less weight.......all I can say is that I am jealous of you!!!

You'd be fine as a flat jockey... yes too small for NH would have to carry too much "dead weight".
