Could I be a horse jockey?
I have always loved horse since I was really little and I always had a need for speed too. I have ridden horses since I was 7 but I really got into riding 2 years ago and had leased a off the track thoroughbred. I was a jumper and jumped up to three feet high but I also go to gallop my horse in a open field with short stirrups. But I took a break from riding and haven't ridden since October of 2010 due to anorexia that I am still suffering with but I hope that I am getting better. I am still very sick but I really hope to get better. I suffer from dizziness, low heart rate, palpations, I am always cold, my hair is falling out, and my eyesight is blurry. I really love horses and hope that if I get better and race because I have always wanted to do that! What are the qualifications to be a jockey? I am 5'8 which is quite tall to be honest, and 96 pounds. Is there a hight limit? I know I am probably good on the weight but I honestly don't know what the weights are. Could I still be a jockey if I get better or would it be a triggering sport because of my anorexia? Also would it be safe for me to go back to riding(jumping for now)now? Thank you!
@Lurch I can't eat more than i am because I am afraid that I will gain loads of weight. I eat about 600 calories now but I was eating less than 100 for months. My nutritionist did say to drink ensure but I refuse to. They honestly want me in a hospital with a feeding tube :/
@Lurch I usually take pictures of myself just to see if I have gained weight because I am terrified of that, it is very common for us anorexics to do that not because we like ourself but to see that we haven't changed overnight. Also are you from Russia? I am not but I quite look like it, and have a partial accent too.
Also I do know how to take care of horses etc..I did lease one for a while so I did have to take care of him like feed him, give him a bath, groom, tack and everything.
