Just thought it would be worth seeing what you all thought - I know what I think.
Age/Breed/height of horse and is the rider too big?

He looks well built & muscled and clearly in no discomfort so I think rider is fine as long as she is well balanced and can ride!
Horse? Erm 16.1? Maybe some ID in there? 15?

I think her coat makes her look bigger and the horse looks muscled enough. I have seen worse combinations!!

Haven't noticed any other age/breed/height posts recently! I wondered if tagging on the rider bit would put blinkers on people.............

Lovely horse, and equally lovely rider.
The horse looks to be going well, and appears to have a competant rider on board.
It emphasises the point that light hands and a light seat are far more important to the horse than a light rider.
Is it just me, or are these posts about heavy riders getting tedious now?
I have yet to see a pic on this forum that portrays a rider who is blatently too heavy for the horse...

Um, well it does make up half of your title! Less blinkered and more answering your question i think

SN I think the confusion lies in Re: Age/Breed/height of horse and is the rider too big? - Rider too big? And I am sorry to say I am fed up with these posts now as well. I dont know how many times people have to say the same thing before people get bored with posting them. Sorry SN, not having a go, but the subject has been done to death. I would guess the horse may have ID, about 16.2 as for age who knows from the photo it could be anything from 5-20.

Well for all the boring old fogies who don't want to play (admittedly I am often in that group) the horse is Berry, he is 15hh of Heinz 57 breeding - thought to be Welsh D x CB. He's 10 in the pic - pic taken well before either of us had ever had a lesson. I know damned well I wasn't too big for him then - but the pic could beg to differ, but I am wearing full length cow hide (1000 times thicker than suede) chaps and several layers on top - we were on the way to the beach and it was a FREEZING December morning.

15.2hh, cob x, no idea of age but looks like a good combo to me

Lovely horse - all those layers makes me look forward to riding on cold frosty mornings wrapped up with scarf and gloves!! Am I mad?!
Lucky you, hacking across a moor like landscape to get to the beach - looks idyllic.

I know I love being out riding on crispy mornings! It was idyllic - that was 12/13yrs ago though. Don't live anywhere near there now

Why would I be after anything??
And I certainly don't require brownie points from anybody.

Oooops, sorry - no offence taken! I could have sworn I'd put a sticky-out-tongue smiley at the end...
