Cutting your toenail too short or rounding the edge of the nail can cause it to grow into the skin. Wearing shoes or socks that don't fit well can also cause an ingrown toenail. If your shoes are too tight, they might press the nail into the toe and cause it to grow into the skin. You can get an ingrown toenail if you hurt your toe, such as stubbing it. This can cause the nail to grow inward.
However, jockeys tend to be shorter than normal to meet the weight guidelines. The average height for a jockey is between 4 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 6 inches.
Best Answer: The lightest jockey I know of now is 98 pounds, most apprentices have to be around 105 so they are able to take advantage of the 10 and 5 pound weight allowance. The least amount a horse will carry in a handicap race or with a 10 pound apprentice is around 100-105.here is no minimum or maximum height requirement for jockeys. The minimum weight or average weight is 112 (they can weigh less though) and the maximum weight is 117. Source(s): 5 years working with race horses. racehorsegal Â· 9 years ago.
