I mean can't a person be to heavy for a horse to carry and it be to hard on the horse physically? Please help I would really love any and all feedback! I am new and still learning, so if this is a stupid question I apologize in advance.<img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.horsechannel.com/Skins/Horse/Images/EmotIcons/175ebf87-670c-4d64-ba27-a93b.gif" border="0" title="Question">Sat, 20 Jun 2009 17:16:52 GMTsam05short
