Horses are for everyone and I mean any person who is interested in horses. The only people who have to admire them from afar are people who are bedridden. If you are ambulatory, there is a horse activity for you.

Some people just like to spend a bit of time with a horse. Brushing, feeding a few carrots etc.

Other activities are carriage driving. Showing in-hand. Riding. Volunteering with horse rescue organisations, Riding for the Disabled etc.

There really is an activity for everyone and never a need for a person to feel rejected. If we reject people based purely on their size, we could be missing out on some really great people. People who could do a lot of good for horses.

So if a larger person wants to ride and they are either too large to ride any horse or there is no suitable horse available, please don't reject them. Please don't make them feel less than human. Please find a horse activity they can do. People don't quit being human on the basis of being heavy.

I'd rather reject people for being too skinny. They make the rest of us feel inadequate and there's no way they can possibly hold a real sized horse or handle it without being walked all over. We should face it, skinny people are ruining our horses :eek:


(rhino, this is just for you :D)

Ooops :D Popular, me? It could never work! :D

rhino was complaining about there not being enough skinny bashing going on tonight - I was only trying to help... :p
 
My border terrier likes to ride the cob, but the little black terrier thing just likes to clean up after the farrier and lead the horses back to the field.
Horses are for dogs too.
 
I can help skinny bash! As veterinary nurse I have seen many very skinny young cats go through a cat spay, and have huge chunks of fat internally. I take great pleasure in telling skinny minis who stuff their faces with unhealthy food how they are probably really fat internally :D

The pony is also known as little legs as he only takes pony sized boots so it might be :cool:

Rhino if we join together we can make a normal sized person :p
 
Yes he is plotting world domination one day soon :cool: never trust the irish ;)

Right rhino we can now be daftrhino? and we can then stand up for small peoples rights :D
 
I'm not rob! Neither do I have little legs, actually the opposite, but calling myself ganglylegs didn't sound very appealing.

Well if you are eating hay then you most certantly are not innocent at this moment in time and are more than capable of world domination what with undoing the padlock and climbing a set of stairs :cool::D.

I appreciate the :D for rhino, and the tongue in cheek nature of your post, but speaking as a skinny minnie I can assure you it stinks being lightweight, really sucks.
