loosing weight to ride your horse

[breebree191]

Not really a question, im just feeling pretty proud of myself at the moment.
But with british dressage announcing a rule of overweight riders on there horses i decided i needed to stop denying the fact i was too heavy for my pony.
Since the rule change iv lost 18lbs and took my girl for a short hack this week after her having time off since the announcement.
Another stone to go before i start having lessons and competing again, but im bloody proud of myself.

I've been through the weight loss process, started Some years ago with the same motivation as you although I don't compere really anymore. I think it does winders for out general all roundbeing as I've certainly felt benefits.































































































































































































































































Just out of interest have you done a diet route or a combination exercise and exercise. I dos combination and although everyone says I'm now slim I weigh more than I look which I think is from building strength with the gym.

Unfortunately I can't. I think it's because I am a new user. I used this forum for a long time since 2009 but came back to it and couldn't remember my login details.
