Going to loan my 15.2, 19 year old gelding out and have had some enquiries from people, I've asked their weight and been told 9st, 10st, 11st.

Now I know that a lot depends on how they ride, hold themselves etc, but all I know is that I'm 8.5st and that suits him just fine.

So what would be a realistic weight limit for a lightweight WB? dam was 100% TB, sire was a WB (one of Cor de la bryere's sons)

I don't want him to suffer or be uncomfortable but equally, I don't want to rule out good homes just cos I think the rider sounds heavy!
 
I've got a 15.2 warm blood on loan, lightweight, only about 450k but only 6yrs. I weigh 10 11. I'm quite tall and leggy and definitely not too heavy. I do ask various people!
As your lad is older I would have thought max 10 stone tho.
