The amount of weight a two year old horse can carry mostly depends on the size of the horse. A horse that is 14 hands high should be able to carry about 140 to 150 pounds.
Answer 2:
A horse should carry no more than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes tack and other items. A 1,000 pound (453.5 kg) horse for example should carry at the most 200 pounds (90.7 kg). 2 year old horses are not as physically strong as an older horse and the weight should be kept lighter to allow their joints to finish developing without strain.

∙ 6y agoA two year old horse is not fully grown and should not carry much, if any weight on it's back. Although many people race, ride, and show young horses it is eventually detrimental to their health. If for some reason you must ride a horse under four years old then it is best to keep the weight as minimal as possible. The rule is a horse can carry 20% of it's body weight, but this figure includes rider weight and tack weight, not just the weight of the rider.
