[RC] Horse weight (body score) - Barb Peck

Here's Susans' website, 
and the full paper

http://shady-acres.com/susan/tevis95-96.shtml


RELATIONSHIP OF BODY CONDITION SCORE
TO COMPLETION RATE DURING 160-KM ENDURANCE RACES

QUOTE:
The results of this study would suggest that rider weight within reasonable 
limits does not appear to be the handicap to endurance horses that it is 
currently believed to be. Furthermore, these results would suggest that body 
weight of the horse should be considered not only in evaluating endurance 
prospects, but possibly also in judging and awarding Best Condition.
