It depends on the horse really. How much weight a certain horse can carry depends on factors such as breed, weight, saddle type, the horses bones, conformation, condition, and the rider's skills. A horse can carry 20% of it's weight. So an average size horse that ways around 1200 pounds can carry 240 pounds (or 108 kilos), with tack and rider included. Although a larger boned horse can carry more than that. Just depending on the horse.
