Oh God, I really do not wish to sound rude, but I'm being honest.
I do not have an issue what so ever of heavier people riding, but it is only fair if they were to get a horse who could take the weight. Sorry.

I do find it a little funny when someone comes on not wanting to be rude, and starts with 'Oh God'
You really think that this boy
struggles with the little he is asked to do? He is a huge, dense boned horse, he wasn't ridden until he was 9, so all his bones would of fused well. Would I go hunting all day on him, of course not, but he is well able to cope with what he is asked to do.
The mares, well no, not yet, but in the spring hopefully we may be able to make a start, we will see. If I really can't get the weight down enough, Wills will be sold again, she us to good to stand around, but Emmy will stay and become a lawn mower

Firstly, I want to say that I DO like him. However, you asked the question. So conformation wise, he is slightly back at the knee, slightly sickle hocked and for a gelding, pretty long backed. So yes, I think he might struggle.

LOL, we went to the Melville arena for a lesson today, wearing a polo shirt, then added the Rugby shirt on top, went in the arena came out for waistcoat/vest, it is always so darn cold in there.
Started working Ben, ground work to start, started losing layers again, I love Sask. 2 weeks ago we were working in the outdoor arena in 26* heat, last week I drove home from a friends through a snow storm, today it is just right outside at 9*c, definitely still short sleeve weather
