Wagtail
Horse servant
Thankfully most people realise that this thread is not about overweight people, it is about the weight that a horse can carry. Many men who are fit and slender are too heavy for most horses. I set up this thread in an effort to try to come up with some sort of formula for deciphering what weight any particular horse can carry. So far ycbm has been the only one coming up with one and no one but me has responded to that. I am busy working on one myself, but does anyone else have any comments to make regarding ycbm's offering? I personally think it's a good one which I agree with, but perhaps it's slightly difficult to understand or could be misinterpreted. I think it would be a good subject for a spreadsheet where you input a few measurements and stats such as age and fitness and it calculates the weight bearing capacity of any given horse.
