Right I want you to be brutally honest!

No way! you look fab together

We do say that if Blackie’s leg were in proportion then he would be a good 16hh, he does have little legs and I do have shortish stirrups (remember 2nd dressage test in a place he hadn’t been to before so just thinking security, not that I needed to worry). I think you look fine on that mare and she is a lot less solid then our Blacks.
 
Like I said, there is nothing wrong in rider weight to horse carrying ratio. i was only pointing out the visual. Take another pic of them jumping say, could give a totally different example.
It's only one photo to go by so doesn't tell whole story.
 
Once we start jumping, I'll get a picture and then you can tell me what you think from that!

Thanks for your opinion, it's what I asked for, so.............

As long as I'm not doing him any damage (back wise etc.) then I will keep on riding him because he is sooooooooo much fun!
 
Errrrr.......NO!

You look absolutely fine !

Do you want to see a really fat bloke on a horse ?

Okay, here goes :-

Is that you then Rambo??????????Ummmm..............

You don't look big at all and I'm too polite to even guess a weight!

Somehow I don't think me and Blacks will ever be anywhere near 1.50m, more like 50cm.
 
Yep ! That's me
grin.gif


And i'm not looking for people to be polite...just plain honest !

To be quite frank, i'm sick and tired of people making statements about what is too heavy and what is not....if people knew how much I actually weigh they'd probably have a fit...especially in light of what I do with my horses...but hey ho...they don't mind and they actually do their job quite well.....despite my bulk

Well my husband rides Gem our 16'3 ID and he is 16 stone. She goes better for him then either me or GinaGem (well with the jumping). Not anywhere near your level of course but still. You must weigh less then him!!!!

Rambo you look Fine with a capital "F" (seriously not enough blokes around here!!!)

JoElla you also look good on your chap, but there must be nothing in front of you as he's so compact!!!!

That photo made me laugh... NOT the rider (who is looking pretty fit to me

) but the two people watching to the far left of the photo - have they just had a row?

PMSL !

I've only just noticed them....I reckon they've just been told the bar is closing in 5 minutes

Is compacted a good thing? He certainly feels very solid to ride, he makes you feel very safe. A completely different ride to my Otto (the bay below!).

I honestly can't see anything wrong?!
I wouldbe completely slated for riding my tb type, and my 14.2 but neither seem to bother, so I'm not! (I'm not that heavy..but not exactly ideal!!
blush.gif
 
Compact is good - long in the back is bad!

I like a long neck in front of me - basically something to hang onto whilst jumping... although probably doesn't help that mine are hogged!
 
Jade? Have you been dying your hair blonde again??

It's a horse lying down with a silver blanket on........
