Am I too heavy?

[Barney&Buzz]

I have a 15hh Connie x Tb and a 14.1hh Welsh C x Cob I currently weigh 12st 4 and on a massive diet, I have so far lost 9lb in a month and am very pleased with myself, my aim is to be 10 and a half stone. I'm 5ft 2in and 29 next month. My ponies both seem fine carrying me, but I worry.

If they seem fine, they probably are fine

Thanks guys, I never mount from the floor and both have custom fitted saddle's which are checked often. They also do lots of varied work.

Don't worry! I range from 12 stone to 12 and a half stone and my horses are 13.3 and 14.3 welsh D's. Both carry me without a problem, though admittedly I am losing weight aiming for about 10 and a half stone as I am aware that 13.3 is 14 next May and is only going to get older-and the 20% rule applies between the age of 6 and 14 and I am already a stone over hers!

I have a 15'2 conny x tb, who was 16 when I got her and she carried me at 15 stone! I have now lost 4 stone but she never had any issues carrying me! she'd keep going for hours, would jump anything! now she is 27 I wouldn't want to weigh anymore than I do now, but as a younger lady she's carried me just fine!

good luck with your diet! I recommend Weight watchers
