In a team they can’t go anywhere
and with their mates
Give it time...
I've just whanged a bunch of comments on about the horse being NOT thin, or terrified (because of the white sclera around his eye). Wonder how long they'll stay up.
Which bit did you post them on, I can't see them?
Oh my lord(osis)
Is there something about Clydesdales that attracts the wrong sort of owner, or am I just noticing them?
Unfortunately a lot of extremely overweight riders think the bigger the height the bigger their carrying capability.
Yes I know a few “if it’s arse is wider than mine it’s fine”
Thank you very much for the individuals here who have provided information re. heavy horses - as an aside, wow, imagine the rug bill for a horse that size that's still developing physically until 9!
Assuming it's fair to say the 'lack of condition' is just a longer-than-we're-used-to 'leggy ugly baby phase', and if they take that long to mature as well, it would surely be better for them to be on the leaner side, especially as clydesdales can be quite big moving so overloading their joints early on would have repercussions down the line?
Not liking its back.
I think it’s exactly what has already been mentioned, the fatter/bigger the horse, the heavier the rider thinks he/she can be. I stopped riding when I put weight on after the accident then never got back on bar one 5 minute sit.
Clydesdales have become more popular since ridden classes were introduced. They now seem to come in a bigger range of sizes. Maybe it’s a sort of ‘status’ thing as in ‘my horse is bigger than yours?
although I do think some of us who promote their kindness and adaptability have potentially increased their appeal to numpties and idiots. And there will always be a section of society who assume they’re never too heavy to ride a heavy horse!
