    My motivation for losing weight is my lovely Dales mare. I was approaching the weight limit for getting on her.

    Hi everyone! So exciting to see fellow horse addicts here on MFP!

    I breed Arabian Riding Ponies and run a foundation programme from home for weanlings and yearlings (so people drop off their "ferals" and pick up lovely little contributing members of equine society a few weeks later lol).

    Gotta get the post pregnancy weight gain back down so I can get to enjoy some of my ponies as they reach an age where they are ready to start under saddle!

    Just thought I'd poke my head in and say hello. :)

    I have been writing a blog for plus sized horseback riders for the last four years. Always been a big girl. Current mount is a draft cross mare (actually a more rugged horse than I rode before at a heavier weight, even - purely accidental). Growing up, my parents stood a stallion, trained and showed, so I grew up in the western pleasure show ring. Now I play at dressage but mostly hack... though I haven't ridden since October - my mare and I have both gained a little weight and I moved her 45 minutes from my apartment to save on board so we could buy a house where she can come live with us.
