It is a good point, however, to note that another equine sport has a 
precedent of weighing rider and tack. And adding weight to saddle pads for 
some races based on horse age, etc - like FEI.

It goes back to what everyone LOVEs to say about Rule 13 - intent. Is the 
intent to represent what the horse carried? That's the way I understood it - 
weight carried represents the workload of the horse compared to other horses 
with like workload.
