Do you think that 10 lbs makes the difference between tubby and not?  I 
submit that 10 lbs ain't gonna make a whole lot of difference to ANY 
horse, big or small.  I'm happy for your knees, though, losing extra 
weight is always nice for anyone's joints.

Is your statement rather intended to get people to consider their 
choice of horse relative to their own (implied chosen) size or just to 
spread hate and discontent?  Dang!
