[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 84013, member: 94"] I agree with the first part of this, but not the second. I don't think 250 is big at all. Heck, I'm pushing 200 and have road my daughters pony around a couple of times, but only for a few minutes! That little thing could drag/push/throw me around anywhere it wanted, if it had a mind to. It's plenty stout! I don't know how tall you are, but I would think twice about getting a tall horse! Personally, I like one betweeen 14 and 15 hands. I am 5' 8" tall, and getting on a big 16+ hand horse is not that much fun. I would recommend a well broke (around 15 + yrs old) quarter horse that is 14 1/2 to 15 hands tall. I like quarter horses that have some cow sense because if your riding in the country, you're enivitably going to come across cattle, and you don't want your horse to bolt at the first sign of livestock in the pasture.
