You just reminded me of something that I got to do at age 14. My uncle had a ranch up in Watsonville where he had a small business rehabbing injured thoroughbred race horses. Because he was 6'3\" and weighed close to 300 lbs., he was not a candidate to ride them. Enter yours truly who weighed maybe 115 at that age.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo make a long story short, he, myself, and my young cousin got to run these horses at the beach near Moss Landing. He wanted me to first ride them casually in the close \"white water\" as he said that the salt water was good therapy for their legs. However, some of these horses were a little \"spunky' and they wanted to \"fly\". On a couple of occasions I was riding a few at full throttle with just a jockey saddle. A little exhilarating and scary at the same time. He tried to talk my mother into me being a part time jockey for some of the \"low level' races he was involved in, but she said 'absolutely not\". Anyway, it was long before my weight went way past the acceptable jockey weight so my career as a jockey would have been \"short lived\". What an experience that was!"]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["223265"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.703879999491619, "license": "Public Domain"}
