A horse should never carry more than 20% of it's own body weight on it's back, this includes tack and anything else that may be put on the horse. To find out if you or another person is too heavy you can weight the person and the equipment. Then if you know the horse you can do the following math equation to see if they are within the safe weight range. Horses weight -80% = weight they can carry. If the weight of the person and equipment is over that number then they cannot ride the horse.
