Mardy Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Now this isn't meant to sound like me bagging Micky or whatever,as i'm a huge fan of his. But am wondering what is his reasoning etc for pretty much always switching the whip over to his left hand and almost going 'european' and giving his mounts a 'flick'?..can't describe it any better than that lol. Almost seems like he's forgotten how to use his whip in his dominant hand.Definitely a class rider just not sure why he's been doing this style for a while now.

Chief Stipe Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm not a fan I'll admit. Changed my mind completely when he rode my horse about 16 years ago. I had the chance to compare his overall horsemanship with some other Jockey's that rode the horse and he was a few steps behind. I think he has a style that suits certain horses and their race styles. He got into that fad of doing the big grandiose exhibition of letting the reins drop and spreading his arms out and flapping them. In my opinion he is more about looking good style wise rather than adjusting to the type of horse he rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
