I think it's easier to have a good position when you're thinner though, do you agree? Also, I hate the sesnation of my belly wobbling around when I do a sitting trot - always a good incentive to loose a few kilos :embarassed:

I'm guessing not too big for a 17h warmblood at all then :bigsmile:

My partner's Belgian - he's not sweet at all :laugh:

Oh yes, mine may only be half arab but he really does have his "arab" moments. He does need to work though, he needs something to occupy his little brain or we have REAL trouble!

My Beloved has told me that I'm too fat for my horse - how rude! Horse doesn't have any trouble bronking when I'm on him so I don't think so! (I'm still less than 10 stone so he is just being rude, I just want to be trimmer so I don't have to squidge the fat back between my thighs before I start :embarassed: )

So great to hear from other horsey folk! My horse is a half arab x selle francais/anglo arab. He's 7 now and I've had him since he was 5. He was a fatty when I first got him but he's a lean, mean, carrot munching machine now. My partner is a very good rider and does the bulk of the training (:smokin:), but I want to start…

Thanks everyone, it's easy so far after 3 days (and partner away), the real test starts on Friday when he returns and it's the weekend - gotta stay strong!
