    [RC] Mad Science - JUDYK89


    Hmmm...

    Okay, what I want to know is what is the weight difference between your paint and your Arabs? 

    What I've always been told is this...

    You have a 1100 pound horse, and your daughter weighs 107, the horse will work harder than an 800 pound horse with a 200+ rider. 

    It is the total weight that matters with the horse and rider and tack. 

    So the point to remember is to look for those small powerful horses?

    Of course I weigh about the same as you and have a 15.2 hand horse that weighs about 1000 lbs.  We are at a distinct disadvantage but good conditioning can overcome the weight obstacles.
