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:
