Begger off.
William Fox-Pitt's bio says he is 12 stone 8 lbs. Hands up anyone who has a problem with him riding TB's over the toughest tracks in the world!
It is good that we are aware of a horses weight carrying ability and do not over burden them,but it's stupid to get tangled up in knots worried that perfectly fine people are too heavy for their horses.
From a judging point of view, it looks absolutly horrible to see overweight people on horses, it spoils the whole asthetics of horse and rider in harmony. will not appologise for being blunt, I feel that you should be in the healthy weight range for your height to compete, if your not, then join a slimming club
till you are.

Knob off, who are you to dictate what weight people should be to be able to do a hobby they enjoy, on a horse able to carry them?![]()

Right this gets my vote, are you ready, I'm a big girl, a very big girl, and I couldn't agree more with what is said here nothing worse than seeing a fat person on a horse. I have various horses showing, competing, hunting and I don't ride any of them cause it looks terrible, untidy, ugly, whatever you want to say. I might be fat but I'm quite fit I can work just as hard as the next person, might get puffed out but doing polo, hunting, mucking out I'm the same as you skinnies. so shut up. I'm not saying don't ride I'm just saying it looks bad unless your on the horse to compliment you. Sorry.
I think we should settle this with a food fight!
