There is nothing I cannot stand more than people judging another rider by their weight just to be mean. I'm sure since D2D has owned these horses for years, if there were health problems for them based on her weight, her vet would have addressed it.***********************Edited to add:You know what camryn? I'm sorry. I was way too nasty in the thread and I shouldn't have been. I have a pet peeve re: riders being told they are too big for their horses b/c I had a good friend in saratoga nearly sell a horse she loved b/c barn mean girls were harassing her about being too big for her horse. it went on and on. my friend asked her vet if it was ok to ride the horse and the vet said it was fine. and these girls would not quit. it got so she was afraid to get on her horse. and that was a shame b/c she loved him and he had a great home with her. it all worked out in the end, but it was awful for a long time. so I'd like to apologize for being such a stand up bitch. ******************However, I still think you were WRONG to slam D2D and you should not be picking on another rider for her size
