I honestly can't think of a time I looked at a rider and made some sort of judgment about them based on the horse they were on. I will admit, though, that I sometimes DO make a judgment based on HOW they ride. But then again, you can usually tell a lot about someone by watching them ride, so maybe that's not so much a judgment as it is an observation, lol.

I do think that a lot of people look at me (guys, in particular) and probably think I can't handle a horse because I'm about 5'7 and 110 pounds. I think they'd be surprised, lol.
