John and I had a long talk about that at WS. My mare is little, 14.2 
and 800 lbs on her fattest day, but that mare is smart, tenacious, and 
has the biggest heart of any horse I've ridden. She rides big and is 
darn pretty to look at to boot. I'm 5'9" and a middleweight, and that 
mare carried me when I was 9 months pregnant, and has never been lame. 
She and Skoldur got along really well together and both John and I 
decided there are great advantages to a smaller mount. It's not so far 
to duck under branches, getting on and off is a breeze and they seem to 
stay pretty sound. She also handles like a sports car in the turns and 
rough country.
They don't need to be big on the outside, just big on the inside.
