You all got me worried now... am I too big?

[5horses2dogsandacat]

Its definitely not at the extreme as THAT post.

But I have a 15hh QHxNF mare, I'd say she is a medium weight and I dont think she ever struggles with me, well she has never seemed to show it.

Im 5ft5 and weigh around 10st... bit of a chubby

Too big??

 

[ldlp111]

Ahh she's pretty and I don't think 10st is heavy QH can carry quite alot I think although I know yours it a x.

 

[Arizahn]

You are fine

 

[Jesstickle]

Well I hope not as I'm expecting my 15.2 TB to carry my fat 11 stone ass when she's backed

Lovely pony and aren't QH and NF both meant to carry weight extremely well anyway?

 

[Phoebe+Sophie]

No I don't think that would be to heavy. Full grown men ride QH and NF so cross of both breeds would bs fine. I'm 5'5" and I ride my 12.3hh and a half welsh sec c x Exmoor. I'm 8 and a half stone.

 

[Renvers]

10st is actually normal weight for 5ft 5 so you are far from chubby!!

She looks fine for you, enjoy

 

[mulledwhine]

No way are you too big

 

[5horses2dogsandacat]

Phew!! lol I had a sudden panic.

She is rather a pretty girl, but darn it, she does knows it and uses it to her advantage constantly!!

 

[Spring Feather]

Phew!! lol I had a sudden panic.

I don't know why A 6hh miniature pony ridden by a 7 stone person is not comparable at all to a 15hh horse ridden by a 10 stone person.

But is a 15.2 TB ridden by my fat ass?! lol Better not post photos of me backing her just incase!

 

[JFTDWS]

I expect my 14,1 to carry my 11 stone arse around. he copes pretty well...

Yup, by my math you'd have to be around 17 and a half stone on a 15hh to equate to that! Although I have heard that some chunkier horses can carry that proportion of weight to height...cobs, etc.

I wouldn't put anyone on a Shetland - they are obviously planning world domination and we should not anger them! Just look at their eyes...biding their time, I tell you!

 

[midi]

ugh these threads are ridiculous tbh.
god forbid anyone ride a horse and weigh more than 7 stone.
Ofc your fine for your horse, don't be silly ....

I do love how people make facts up about others horses. He is just short of 9hh. Small none the less but stop being spiteful and get a frisking life.

PS this kind of thread was entirely what I was taking the mickey out of. I get so sick of seeing people post these crappy threads hence the (theoretically) humorous thread which was meant to be tongue in cheek.

I am 5ft 5inch and about 10 stone and certainly don't consider myself to be a bit of a chubby! I am a size 12 in clothes, the average is a 14 I believe. My mare is a 14.3 TB x (NF I think) and she has been ridden by people up to 12 stone with no problem.

 

[Ladyinred]

She is rather lovely.

And since 2yo QHs often have to carry 14 stone+ men, I don't hink you have anything to worry about at all!

Ooops im really sorry... really hope you havent taken offence!!

I just carry all my weight on my saddle bag hips and thighs.. hence why I feel chubby.

Thank you for calling my thread crappy. I was being serious as I really do love my horses far too much and the thought I could be unintentionally doing anything to hurt one would lead to a lot of loss sleep. Unlike you who seems happy to break your little pony's back and make a joke from it. There many posters with years and years of experience all telling you exactly the same thing and what you are doing is wrong. Its plain arrogant and I dread any of my ponies ever getting in the hands of people like you .

 

[Megibo]

what a pointless thing to worry about OP!

my 13.3 welsh could carry me for hours and i'm 12st 7...

 

[PucciNPoni]

10st is actually normal weight for 5ft 5 so you are far from chubby!!

My thought EXACTLY! How can 10 stone be *chubby* for someone 5'5in? Daaayummm, when I was first married I was running, lifting weights 5x a week and really fit 5'2in and 10 stone!
