If, during a stable management competition (PC - I'm going back a few years now!
) you were asked what a jockey is?
What would YOU say?

A person that rides a horse

I would probably automatically say a race rider, but obviously it can refer to anyone who rides.

It's the old fashioned term for a greasy lump of dirt stuck to your saddle...and if you're 103years old, like me, you'd know that you're supposed to make a little pad of horse hair to scrub it off without damaging the leather.

LOL!
at 103 yrs old, fair enough, but how can they have expected a 10 yr old to know?!?!? I looked a right twit! It still grieves me now (hence the post - was just having a giggle about it with a friend - though I can say I have never slipped up on that one since!

I knew that from good old pony club camp- was cleaning my saddle and my instructor told me to scrub the jockeys off- i was like what the hell?!
although a bit of a controversial question to ask in a pony club quiz.

Not sure it's that controversial - it's come up in every PC quiz I've seen so far!

Do you mean to say that at ten years old you had not read, inwardly digested and learnt every word that is in the Manual of Horsemanship? Shame on you!
Call yourself a Pony Club member, what is the world coming to?!

Grease. I use a blunt knife to scrape it off but I wouldn't have admitted that in a Pony Club quiz!!

IN PC terms it is a blob of grease on leather work, but if a normal person asked me then, it is a hired rider of racehorses.

The quiz teams I used to train would have known that one.

Ah well, as it seems to be a well-known PC trivia question, I guess the trainers of the Ridgeway team were at fault...
Kind of explains how we were in the bottom 3 for four years running, doesnt it?!?!

Isn't it a lump of saddle soap or grease or something on tack? I can't remember!

haha I remember getting that as quiz question too! (I was on the Oakley West quiz team). The only question I remember getting badly wrong was a decider at the Area Finals when I was asked to spell veterinary. I spelt it "vetinary" and was so c*ck sure, I'm still embarrassed to this day as I think I argued with them about it. So shameful!
