[RC] [Guest] Weight divisions - Ridecamp Moderator


Colleen McGraw cmcgraw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
OK...in general, I think most would agree that it is an advantage
to be lighter.  Less weight for the horse to carry, no? I thought
weight categories were created so that lighter people wouldn't
always have an advantage over their heavier fellow competitors.
If a heavyweight wants to compete directly with featherweights,
there is no problem because the heavyweight is in theory disad-
vantaged by his higher weight.  That's why you can always ride
in a lighter category than your real weight, but not in a heav-
ier one.
