Jillian,

No matter what you say to this person, it won't matter. Just ride your horse and do the best you can. Living well is the best revenge, as they say.

I'm also a hvy rider and have ridden for the last few years at about your weight. I've found the other riders on trail to be very encouraging to me and helpful. 

finally, I'm tipping the scales the other direction, yeah! and it feels great. But, I've got a long way to go to get out of the hvy class.

Just ride your own ride, take good care of your horse, and to heck with anyone who has something negative to say. that person must need to put others down to make herself feel better.
