[QUOTE="Gliderider, post: 171742, member: 3296"] There are lots of horses that can handle the weight that you mentioned without a problem, however, balance will be an issue. You mentioned that it's been a while since you've ridden so most likely, your going to have to find your "seat" again. I know I did when I got back into riding after a few years. A draft cross, QH, Morgan, Appy, or Paint would be a good choice for you since, for a while at least your going to be off balance. A larger mustang would be ideal, they have shorter backs and can handle more weight than the afore mentioned, longer backed horses. You also don't need a 16 or 17 hand horse. A 15 hander or so will fit you just fine. I wouldn't go any smaller, mainly for looks. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
