Did you know that Professional Horse Jockey’s are covered under special insurance? Also they must be light, typically around a weight of 100-120lb. The weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118lb (49 to 54 kg). Despite their light weight, they must be able to control a horse that is moving at 40 mph (64 km/h) and weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg). Though there is no height limit for jockeys, they are usually fairly short due to the weight limits.
A fall from a horse can be nasty, specially when you are in a horse race. Professional horse riders including apprentices and approved riders, who are injured while riding in a race or practice are generally covered under this insurance cover.
Like any Personal Accident Insurance, this policy is specialized to extend coverage including;
– dental
– injury
– liability
– income protection etc.
