Don't you think a horse carrying over 200+ has to
work harder than one carrying only 110?? I have heard lightweight
riders at rides complain about this and am so amazed that they think weight
should not be a factor. (Its usually spoken when someone loses a BC to a heavier
rider.) I don't want to start the BC weight debate but if you actually
think about it, it makes a whole lot of sense. -----Karla

One of my daughters, who just turned 38 and has
three kid, weighs in at a hulking 115 lbs soaking wet. The
horses love her, but she complains that a 200 lb rider has an edge in
the BC judging, assuming all other factors are
equal.
