[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 27873"] I'm 6'4" and 270 (wish I was 225) but my 15.2, quarterhorse mare does just fine for me. She is muscled a little on the heavier side for a quarterhorse, much heavier than a thoroughbreed. For people our size, we need to make sure the horse has feet and legs to support us. I have a 15.1 QH mare only 3 and not so muscled, she carries me fine but her feet are tiny. I don't ride her much, I'm afraid I will break her down. I'm having her worked by a 130 lb trainier and will save her for my 105 lb wife. But I had her on light trails a few times and love her. Make sure the legs are sound, straight, even at the knees and under her, not post legged....Vet check. Oh yea I keep talking about my mares and referring to "her".... buy a gelding! unless you plan to breed...than buy something worth breeding. Just my opinion Alan [/QUOTE]
