how heavy is tooo heavy to ride a horse? i know the build of the horse plays massively into this, but i saw something utterly horrifying on social media today which really made me think. it saddened me to see it wasn't an uneducated person, but a keen equestrian. i understand heavier people could ride heavy weight cobs, or something similar. but a 5 (i think) year old, fragile irish sports horse i think is too far. especially when, to me the poor horses pace looked a bit off, due to the weight she was carrying. i haven't attached a link/photo, as i dont want to make this seem like a direct attack, but i can do if people would like to contribute an opinion, (keeping this persons account anonymous)
