, but horses are huge heavies. Mishky is a Russian Vladimir and could carry 20 stone, so I am fine (goes off to eat more crisps, drink more wine, grab chocolate)
 
About 8.5 to 9 stone. 16.3 IDxTB. Am 5'2". And I challenge anyone to tell me I am overweight, as there are any number of people on here who have seen me and I am not!

Not at all, I think the posts are more to do with competing at a top level (CCI**** etc) and whether you can be a pro athlete and still heavy. No paranoia medear!
 
I weigh between 9-9 1/2 stone - my last two horses were a 16.2hh tb and a 16hh MW mare.

I've schooled ponies as small as 12.2hh though - but chunky types.
 
i weight 10 1/2 stone, going to get down to 10 stone before i start competing again. i'm 5'10" and size 10 on top and 12 on the bottom.

i have an 18.2 warmblood who prob wouldn't notice if i weighed 16 stone, and a 15.3 wbxtbid who definitely would. i never ride her for more than an hour, gently, or 30 mins if we're doing a bit more.

Dont really want to say my weight, but owning a 17hh means I dont really have to worry about my weight!

I think it is more stamp than weight
 
9 stone 7lb last time i checked and ride a LW 15hh, he doesn't seem to struggle at all, but I do worry sometimes

I'm incredibly heavy for my size, 5ft 3 and a size 8-10

Absolutely!

and conformation.

Beau has 10 and a haif inches of bones, but many big hoses are still fine, or perhaps have bad conf so cant carry as much.
 
My horse is a 14.3hh Welsh cob, I also ride a 14.1hh cob type and a 16.2hh TBx, I'm 5 foot 2 and 12 and a half stone.
I also own a 13.2hh Welsh cross Arab and I will need to lose at least two and a half stone before I ride her again.

Why the hell would anyone challenge you about your weight. You weigh 8 and a half stone.

Very confused.

Closer to nine really - but because lots of people are about 6-8 inches taller than me and only about a stone heavier and are convinced they are overweight mainly!
