What is the Weight limit for a person to ride a horse?

There is no set weight limit to riding a horse. However, horses can carry 1/3 of their weight. If your weight is more than 1/3 of your horses, you can cause injuries and soreness. And eventually the horse will become sway (its back will curve in) with age. People should choose a horse that is strong enough to hold them. Make sure of this to be sure you are not harming your horse.
