    [RC] Weight of horse compared to rider - Ridecamp Guest

    Elaine betwab@xxxxxx
Hi,
What is the rider to horse weight ratio.  A friend who is new to riding and endurance has purchased a horse that is 13.2 and he is 6.4.  The thought are that the horse is really to small for him.  The horse is a arabian of aboout 750 lbs.  While he is about 170 to 180 lbs. without the saddle.  The total wieght with his present saddle is about 200 to 210.  Thanks for any infor on this situation.
