A jockey is like a superhero who rides horses in races. Just like how you ride your bicycle, a jockey rides a horse, but they do it really fast and in a special place called a racetrack. They wear colorful clothes so everyone can see them easily. Their job is to help the horse run as fast as it can and try to win the race. It’s like when you race your friends to see who can run the fastest!
Think of a jockey as a pilot for horses. They have to be really good at understanding their horse, just like how a pilot knows all about their airplane. They tell the horse when to go faster or slower, and they have to be careful not to fall off! Jockeys have to practice a lot to be really good at their job, just like how you practice when you learn something new.
Jockeys are also like coaches during the race. They encourage the horse to keep going, even when it gets tired. They use a small stick called a whip to gently tap the horse, reminding it to keep running. They have to be very brave and strong because racing can be tough, just like how you need to be brave when you try something challenging.
