The American quarter horse and the Tennessee walking horse, among others, average about 1,000 to 1,200 pounds. That means no one who weighs more than 100 to 120 pounds should ride them. Can that be right?
How about a Clydesdale?
It doesn’t seem like that should be right. Something is out of whack in this story. I posted this thread (hopefully) in a tongue-in-cheek manner ... it would not surprise me if this study was put out for some sort of political agenda; i.e., PETA type activism or by English nanny-staters searching for another snack or beverage to ban.
