Another weight/height question

Well done on your weight loss progress!

It's a tricky time to do so, over the Christmas period and the cold months where you just want to snuggle up with comfort food.

Thankyou!
Yes it has been hard and ultra slow (with a pause around Christmas) but weight HAS shifted and I’m hoping should make a difference

Slow and steady wins the race - and any result that betters your health and gets you closer to riding is very much worth celebrating

Are you riding currently? Keep up with the fitness while you're looking. Well done on the weight loss.
My boy is a 13.3 Dales cross (Clydesdale blood) as per my profile pic, and I have very short legs hence me going for a pony I can hop on and off easily, rather than a horse.
I'd look at a draft cross maybe Clydesdale? You might not be able to hop on and off so easily but you wouldn't worry about the weight ratio as much. They've increased in popularity as riding horses now.

My chunky 15.1hh ISH weighs 575kg on the weigh bridge at optimum (lean) weight. So following the 15% rule and taking off 10kg for saddle he could comfortably carry 76kg.
