Hello fellow PNHrs. Our group is pretty quite so I thought I'd post a topic. What is your biggest challenge with horsemanship due to your current weight? Mine is mounting with savvy and having my breeches feel tight! Although I am struggling to be on track, I am trying. I just cannot get my head 100% in the game but I have confidence that it will click.
Here is a blog post I wrote about horses and exercise. I thought someone might be interested.

Hello!
I just finished reading you blog-- I too have the BMF and am loving using MFP with the arm band- so much better then the nutrition app that comes with the MFP!
As for Horsemanship challenges due to weight- me being 5'7 and my Mare being 16'3 (how are you supposed to write that?!) I obviously have some issues mounting- especially since I mostly am trail riding her right now- however, the most important thing for me right now is being physically fit enough and able to do an emergency dismount if needed. Not that I have had many occasions for this- but since I am just back in the saddle after a riding accident the knowlege that I can safely dismount at almost any speed makes me feel much more confident in the saddle.
I have been slowly changing my eating habits and upping the exercise and I am more confident already!0
