RE: [RC] rider weight - Mcgann, Barbara

10 lbs - big deal.  How tall or short are you?  Tall people can lose 20-30 
pounds and still look heavy.  What % of you does 10 lbs represent?

Don't feel sorry for their horse...feel sorry for yourself for being so 
judgemental.

I was glad someone finally posted a message suggesting that some of these
"tubbies" lose some weight. When I switched from a 15.2, 1100 Arab/Mustang
to an 800 lb. 14.2 horse, I promised him that I would lose 10 lbs. and I
did just that. He is happier, my heart is happier, I feel a lot better and
I can again do a step class w/o killing my knees! When I am riding behind
some of you and I see all that fat hanging over the saddle, it is a real
eye opener and I feel really sorry for the horses.
