Interesting press today Online Horse and Hound an article on GYS and riders having to dismount This is about the vet at Great Yorkshire enforcing welfare rules Sunday Telegraph headline www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/06/show-horse-chief-blames-little-girls-for-rise-in-ponies-who-are/Show Horse Chief blames little girls for rise in ponies who are wearing make up This is about comments from David Tatlow BSHA president blaming children for make up on ponies ?? Comments about weights of riders welcomed by TSR as we are drawing up guidelines (not rules) e mail gailchapmantsr@yahoo.com. If you would like to test out the theory calculate the weight of your animal by using the method for finding out its approx weight for worming and then weigh yourself with your saddle. You should not weigh more than 20 % of your animals weight for an approx guideline.

I saw that article and it's very interesting, seemed to be more focused on adults riding kids ponies as opposed to chubby riders. I'm on the chubby side hah but if I start to get near to the 20% of his weight then i crack down on my weight. He is a fell pony so could probably carry more but just because he can doesn't mean he should have to bless him
