What is the average height and weight for jockeys? A: The average weight of a horse jockey is between 108 and 118 pounds, though in the United States, the minimum riding weight in competition is 116 pounds. Jockeys average between 4 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 6 inches, though there is no height requirement.
Many professional racing associations state that jockeys must weigh no more than 126 pounds with all their equipment, which means that they usually weigh around 110 pounds without their gear. The shorter a jockey is, the easier it is to meet this weight limit; however, there are no official limits placed on height.
