Angel2002, I have no trouble in understanding what is being said on here, and that is that in some people's opinion including your vet, we should not be putting more than 12stone including tack on our arabs. I make no apologies for saying that in my opinion that is total rubbish. Like Callisto I certainly wouldn't put too much faith in most vets ability to judge what an arab can comfortably carry. You are continuing to push the case of the 16/18 stone rider, when MY argument is against the "no arab should carry over 12stone" or anyone who is tall either. If a 6ft person feels comfortable on an arab, then why should he/she not ride one purely because some of you think the overall picture doesn't look right. The height of a horse is to a certain extent immaterial. I have ridden (as an adult) ponies of 14hh that I have felt "right" on, and equally 16hh plus that I have felt underhorsed on.
Yes we are going to have to agree to disagree, as you are obviously not going to admit that I am right. |
