Back to listsConcentration On The Horse
By Mann Esh | 24-Jan-2017
Is it affordable to take off your concentration from the horse when you are on the horse back?
From the video of the Kolkata race where 3 jockeys had a fall it can be observed that TS Jodha looked back, later got imbalanced from his seat, landed on the horse's neck and went down after the horse could not bear the weight on his neck which ultimately caused the spill.
Is it not possible that if the Jockey had not looked back he could balance better in spite of the fact that horse must have stumbled lightly?
Important lesson for all the young and budding Jockeys out there.
