Ride Like A Girl: What It's Really Like To Be A Female Jockey

Women have only been allowed to ride in horse races in Australia since 1979 but since then they've blazed a trail through one of the only sports in the world where men and women compete against each other on a level playing field. So is it any different for a woman in the sport? With the Michelle Payne story Ride Like a Girl out in cinemas, we take a look at life as a woman in a very male dominated world.
