Hi- I have read that the maximum comfortable weight that a horse can carry is
20% of it's body weight. That's just a rule-of-thumb because it really depends
more on how the horse is built- broad back vs narrow etc. But I still think
that a horse would notice a 40 pound difference. My horses certainly seemed
to notice when someone alot heavier than I got on them. -Amy
