Re: [RC] Percentage body weight (was: Dainty horses) - Beth Walker

hmmm ... posted before I read it. This one says -- I think -- that the ratio of rider weight to horse body weight is more of a function of decreasing condition score. In a really quick read, I think it is saying that condition score is more important than the rider weight/ horse weight ration, but I don't think it discounts it completely.

It is on Susan Garlinghouse' site:

Can anybody refer me to this study. It does not agree with my own experiences.
