>does anyone else think.
I don't think that is too old if he is sound and willing, you just have to
give him the proper training( yourself too :-) and there are so many people
on this list that have the most helpful advice and they know what they are
talking about. Not to mention they are the most supportive bunch of people
I have ever met.

>get on the scales but Im sure it would be heavy.
Don't fret I am five foot and in the heavyweight division and my horse
carries me around just fine and she doesn't seem to have a problem with me.
