How to start jockeying?

Question

So I have decided that I am interested in becoming a jockey. My friends have suggested the idea to me as I am considerably smaller than everyone *5'7 and 115lbs*. I think it would be an amazing job and career to devote my time to..however I have absolutely no idea how to start. I've never ridden a horse either :X I feel kinda dumb looking to become a jockey without any experience but I guess i should start with a dream? WIth that being said, how should i go about starting down this path? I'm located in San Diego over summers and Middlebury Vermont for school *We have a morgan horse farm on campus that is owned by UVM* Thanks!
