Re: [RC] [Consider This] How Much Weight Can Your Horse Safely Carry? - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonI found this incredibly interesting. I asked, Raquel, my granddaughter to go and weigh her backpack. It weighs approximately 32.5 pounds. I asked her if sh experienced any back difficulties carrying around this pack during school hours. She said, "GRANDMA, are you kidding, I toss around 125 pound bales of hay. I stack the hay, pull it down, and then feed the horses!" ROFLMAO! There you have it. Clearly, all teens need to be working on ranches/farms tossing/pitching hay!
On the serious end of this discussion. Not only is it clear the importance of conditioning is for a horse to carry a load. It is equally as important for the human to be in condition to carry the load it takes to care for said animals! You see, I am talking brave here, because I actually got to the gym one day this week! YES, I am on my way to conditioning.
Now, back to the couch! Because the thought of going to the gym exhausts me. LOL!
