Equine colleges and weight limits

[littlemisslauren]

If you / your child have been to or are currently at an equine college, what was the weight limit? If they had one? And how was it enforced?

A couple of recent threads have sparked my interest

If I remember correctly the weight limit was 14stone at Brackenhurst (Where I was a student) but I am happy to be corrected on that!

13st at Hadlow I believe. Definitely not enforced. We had a larger girl ride but only certain horses.

13st at writtle but I was on the science course so didnt ride.

13stone at sparsholt when I was there - not enforced as nobody was weighed and there were several girls considerably over that!

Don't think moreton morrell had one. 16st+ on dainty little tb types....used to send shivers down my spine....

Think askham Byron had 13 stone, though was a couple of larger girls. I would of happily let one of the larger girls ride my horse than some of those others, remember size isn't everything :0).

Didn't sparsholt go up to 13.5??... Again may be wrong was few years ago I enquired ( as a mature student).

Think moreton morrell are bringing one in this year! Might be wrong! I am not riding there this year and well below the limit anyway

13st at both I have been to. First one we were all put on weighbridge in first week, second I don't ride so I don't know if they enforce it.
