Absolutely, you need to lose around 70 pounds.  You can do it....go for it.  In the meantime you can find a place near your home to volunteer working with and around horses.  Good Luck with both.

Answer 14

Most horses carry no more than about 125 pounds even in a handicap situation.  I think the Derby colts carry 118 and the fillies 115 (something like that).  The jockeys are all about 10-15 pounds under that.

Actually, you're probably too tall to get to that weight.

Answer 15

are you planning to ride the horse or have the both of you towed by a fast truck...?

Answer 16

lose about 70 pounds, work up your strength and find someone to sponsor you. do that and it very possible.

Answer 17

There is a weight limit.  I will ask my friend who is a jockey, but stop EATING RIGHT NOW--U R TOO FAT to be a jockey!

Answer 18

I'm sure you could, but you would have to lose weight. I believe it helps the horse go faster

Answer 19

lose some weight

Answer 20

Wow a lot of people answering this question are jerks. You'd have to start training, believe it or not its a LOT of work riding horses like that. And honestly you'd probably lose weight if you did it a lot. Not that you need to lose weight, if your comfortable in your body and you want to pursue a dream don't listen to a bunch of society drones. :) good luck.
