I'm advertising for sharers and I wondered if I should be aware of weight loading?

I'm 10stone and my horse is a 15.2hh TBx Cob (she has the body of a cob and the legs of a TB)

She looks rather much a lightweight horse and I've never really thought about weight when riding her?
I am pregnant so I guess I would put on around 2 stone with pregnancy, would that be too much? Could she carry more? Less?

She's a delicate flower and I want to make sure.

Thanks
 
im 13 stone and 5'8 and ride a 15.3 irish tb...pretty light, ID legs/hooves

he seems to cope with me fine.....although no one lighter rides him so i guess he knows no different...... i just look very very tall on him
 
I think it would depend how fit the horse is and also its confirmation and the type of work it would be asked to do. The type of rider also makes a difference a lightweight bad rider can be as hard for a horse to carry as a well balanced heavier one

11.5-12st should be fine depending on the above
 
i guess if the look like a sack of potatoes...then no heavyer than 10/11 stone????
but if they are a good balanced rider then may be 13 stone?

err on the side of caution, so you know your horse is comfy and happy to work
