She is a gifted/talented lady ... Prefer to see her on the track .

Doesn't it risk damaging the wheels when she lands?

 

[Saluki]

Point to pointing is great fun. A serious achievement for a novice rider. She's obviously really taken to horse riding. Good for her.

It must be a pretty rare transition from track cycling to jump jockeying. But given very good balance, leg strength and an obvious commitment to competing at speed, it shouldn't be all that surprising really. I'm still surprised though!

I cant fault her for guts but shes taking a hell of a risk most jump jockeys retire at her age with a catologue of broken bones and worse ,they fall on average once every ten rides with half a ton of horse landing on them and flying hoofs of the rest of the field to dodge I wish her all the best but she will struggle to be competitive and win races
