Re: [RC] Rider Weight - Amber RobertsMelissa Alexander wrote:Yes, it does matter, Melissa, that you are actively working to lose weight and are taking riding lessons and I applaud you for doing so. You are not only improving yourself but will be improving your relationship with your horse. You needn't worry about what other people think. The only important thing is what YOU think.I've spent the afternoon, after reading the posts, feeling bad about myself and my riding -- and most especially, my desire to ride in endurance in the future. I'm second-guessing my choices. Doesn't matter that I'm actively working to lose weight or that I'm taking riding lessons to get better. Now I'll wonder who's riding behind me, disgusted and appalled that I should dare to get on a horse.
