I have been offered a little welsh C to exercise as my horses are not yet backed and I lost my riding horse earlier this year. But, having been used to riding 16hh and above I am not sure if I am too big for a 13.3hh welsh C. The main reason for asking is that he is only 3 - I am experienced and balanced and would be hacking and short sessions of schooling before he has some time off, and am only 5'3 so height is not an issue. But I had a baby last year and still carrying a bit of baby weight! With all this taken into account, what weight would a 3yo 13.3 welsh C be able to carry?
 
I had the same issue at the beginning of the year...bought a sec c foal though and i too wondered if he would be capable of taking my weight too.but was assured by my old riding tutor that he would easily take my 9st 5lb weight. So yeah i agree with the above post of 10 stone would be ok.
