Regarding Ms. criticism- Screw her. I looked at your photos. You do not look 
too big for that horse. He's carries you just fine. And I'm SURE that being 
a HW, you are MORE conscious of saddle fit, back problems, lameness, etc., 
because you are paranoid! Besides, how are you expected to "get fit" if you 
don't RIDE? I get off and walk a lot, but at some point you have to get back 
on!

Cheers and keep smiling & riding.
