Just interested in the max height and max weight this little guy could carry. He is a 13hh Dales X dartmoor, was wondering as my friend asked to ride him and afraid she may squish him.

Height I dont think really matters, might look a bit odd thats all! Weight wise, is very difficult to tell without a pic, knowing how fit he is, and how good your friend is!

Without a picture its hard to tell, but our section B's, who I would assume are lighter weight than yours, and about 13-13.1 all take 10 stone, 5 foot 4 and 8 stone 5 foot 7 with no problems...

A fairly accurate guestimate is 20% of his 'ideal' body weight(i,e not obesely fat - he's then carry enough of his own extra weight!)

It's near impossible to tell without a picture but say he's 350kg - he'd about 70kg, inc tack, so about 10st (64kg) of rider.
