HOW someone sits a horse has a lot to do with whether or not a horse can carry them easily. I knew a retired cop that had to be pushing if not at 300. He rode extremely well. My 1200 lb appaloosa had no trouble going up hills or even running with him. I've seen 150 lb riders bouncing around like a burlap sack of bowling balls tied to the saddle horn. I wouldn't let one of them on a horse if I still owned one.
