marlene,

the one think i believe that might be  overlooked here is that 2 horses of 
equal size and equal conformation may down the road show the effects of one 
carrying more weight and by that i a mean how that horse carrying the more 
weight holds up physically in the long run.

think about it, if you have 2 humans of equal size/body type carrying back 
packs (one lighter one heavier) for years who do you think is going to have 
arthritis etc first?

for the moment, or a few years, you may be correct that "weight doesn't 
matter" but i think for the horse in the long run it will.
