How about this one?

14.2hh arab. Crabbet bred so lovely and chunky. Rising 11.

I'll give you my stats in a bit....!

Well if he is competing at FEI3* or above he will be carrying 75 kg. Anything else will be 70 kg.

I ride at 80 kg (inc saddle, clothes and Christmas dinner) and my 14.2 hh 3/4 Arabian does just fine thank you very much.

What about Phil? I'd be curious to know how much he could carry and whether people think his SI issues affect it? (Had 8 months off with tildren/rehab/lameness in his near hind). Most he regularly carried was approx 14st including tack!

15.1/15.2hh Welsh Cob, 12 years old.
