Shorts, sandals, jewellery which could get caught...ponytails so we cannot get your hat on!! Weight limit We DO have a weight limit. This is a sliding scale according to weight / height / experience level. Please call me to discuss this if you feel any member of your party might be slightly heavier..we're not monsters, just wanting the best for both horse and rider!! We introduced a weight limit firstly for our horses as many folk think of them as weight carriers. Yes, they are big strong horses, but they still only have one back. I have heard a horse of ours groan with a heavy rider, back in the days when we would take really heavy folk (we've had requests for up to 24 stone...); secondly I have watched some very lovely people, who were unfortuately overweight, riding but not able to do well as riding is a sport. Their excess weight makes it very difficult for them to sit well, and they were uncomfortable...Carrying too much excess weight can mean the person concerned is unfit and as we dont want anyone hurt whilst riding with us we introduced the sliding scale. I very much hope that this does not offend anyone, it's the application of commonsense coupled with a true love of our horses..they do this same job day after day, and we want them to continue doing that, happily.
