[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 378481, member: 3398"] I was watching a documentry on the civil war and they said that a calvary mount had to weigh 140 lbs or less. Boy that is a little guy ? I weigh 280 lbs and i ride my horse sometimes up to 10 miles on a trail ride. They are really tired when i unsaddle them. :lol: But they are really well behaved after a good ride. :lol: They will stand there like a statue when i unsaddle them. I really never gave it much thought but i might be just a little more than they would like to haul arround reckon ? 8) How much or how heavy of a rider is to much for a horse ? The reason i am asking is because i am fixing to break out a young horse mule. He is about 13 hands, maybe 14 hands and arround 700lbs i would guess. He is just turning 2. Reckon i am to heavy for him ? :) [/QUOTE]
