This is what we do now, and if someone CHOOSES to ride a smaller horse, they 
are entitled to do it. We do! Indeed, the rank and file horses who continue 
to be successful in completions, etc., and NOT the big horses, but the more 
moderately sized horses. Again, if we start breaking down every single 
parameter of endurance racing, where does it end? big feet, small feet, black 
feet, white feet, sheesh!

Am I not understanding this correctly.  It is not the horses weight that is 
the issue as things are now.  It is the riders weight that gives that 
advantage or disadvantage.  Again to weigh the horse and rider will be a more 
accurate score.  Is that not what the whole point is?  Who rode the best ride 
with what they had.  All facts must be considered to get a true result.  You 
can argue any point you want but mathematically speaking this is the most 
accurate and the most fair.  Changes must take place to grow.  From what I 
see if issues always change in this sport for what is the best.  One may not 
want to change but that does not make them right.
