What do you think the heaviest weight a .......

[Eaglestone]

16.1 TB who is not a skinny weedy type, but quite substantial, can take

I know this depends on other factors, size of bone etc and bearing in mind the saddle alone weighs 1 stone

Just for a shortish leigh hack round the bridleways

Thank you

15st

 

[lferguson977]

probably 14-15st...

Im somewhere around the 14.5 stone mark, and my 15h TBxConnemara is perfectly content jumping 1.10+ with me, and has no back/lameness issues in the last 8 years...

I was going to say 15 but poss more if just for little hacks.

 

[LadyRascasse]

mine takes 13st with ease and he has had lameness problem. so yours should be able to take 15st easierly

Phew that sounds good, as I have always said about 12 stone and someone wanting to ride him is 14 stone, so I should not need to worry too much then

Thank you all

Hell the top weight in the Grand National carry nearly 12st!

Providing the horse is reasonably fit, in good health, has good conformation, a well fitting saddle and the rider is balanced, I would have thought 14 and a half stone would be fine, maybe more.

14 stone
