Stupid question of the day is .......

[redmerl]

Right, I am 5'9/10 and weight somewhere between 10 and a half and 11 stone. I like to think I ride quietly

My ned is 16.3 TB, happy, healthy and fit.

When I'm sat on my ned what will my weight feel like to him?
e.g will it be the equivalant of me lifting a wintec saddle????

Sorry for the untterly stupid question but I'm a bit paranoid

You sound fine for him in my opinion, can't say what it would feel like for him exactly though!

i often wonder how my horse feels my weight, sorry not much of an answer, just curious too.

A racing tb will carry that weight on a 3 mile/ 24 fence NH course at racing pace.
But don't compare with lifting a saddle, with your arms, imagine wearing a well fitted and balanced rucksack

THanks for that!

From here on, I will think of myself as a rucksack!!!!
