A horse this size can comfortably carry up to 160 lbs.
Anywhere from 900 to 1100 pounds
The inside hand is the "default" hand, however you should hold your crop in whichever hand it is needed. If your horse is drifting to the outside, for example, switch your crop over to the outside hand.
This depends on the breed of horse, condition and age. Horses can weigh anything from below 50 kg to over a tonne. Umm, I was thinking for example andalusian, or American quarter horse, or tanessee walking horse. I really need that info!!!
the knight rode a horse called a charger that was heavy and strong. In hand-to-hand combat he used a lighter horse called a courser. When the knight was not fighting he used a horse called a palfrey, as did his lady and the squire.
For a front hoof, stand with your back to the horse's head. Slide your hand down the back of the horse's leg, and when you get to the fetlock (the bump above the hoof) squeeze slightly and try to lift it up. If the horse won't pick up, lean against it. That'll help the horse move its weight to its other feet so you'll be able to pick up the hoof better. For a back hoof, stand once again with your back facing the horse's head. Repeat the process, except you can slide you hand on either side of the leg. I slide my hand down the back of the leg.
Height for horses and ponies is measured in hands at the withers, or shoulder blade of the horse. A hand is equal to four inches. You can buy measuring devices, but yardsticks work just as well.
the answer heard over and over is simply ANYTHING. from saddleseat and park harness to dressage and jumping and pretty much anything a horse is used for these days. the first Morgan was used to pull logs from the woods but was still a champion trotting racer. they have a wonderful temperment so they make great horses for kids too. Morgans are good in Morgan hunters, hunter pleasure, Morgan western dressage, dressage, Morgan western pleasure, jumping, saddleseat, roadster, park classes and in hand sporthorse classes.
The ovoid shape can bear extensive weight. Try crushing one in your hand and see.
A horse hand is 4 inches
A 14 hand horse (technically a pony based on height) can carry a considerable amount of weight. A horse this size is an excellent choice for a youth rider who is of a height and weight that makes them look balanced together. A horse of this size can easily carry 250 pounds but someone of that size probably will look better on a larger animal.
His left hand :P

Four inches is one hand on a horse.
A horses weight will vary greatly but to find your horses current weight you'll need a piece of paper a pencil and a seamstresses tape measure. Measure your horses length from point of shoulder to point of buttock and write this number down. Now wrap the tape around the horses heart girth and write that number down. Finally do a simple math equation to find the current weight. Girth x Girth X length divide by 330= current weight. No asses the horse and see if he looks under or overweight and you can go from there.
It's not so much age as it is height and weight. I'm 5 foot tall and can ride a 13 hand horse but I'm light weight also. So long as the horse isn't carrying more than 20 % of it's own body weight and the riders legs sit in the correct place age won't matter.
In general a horses height doesn't have too much to do with a riders height. It is more the weight of the rider that matters. A taller horse will be bigger in general and more able to carry a heavier rider's weight. Of course a taller horse looks more proportioned to a taller rider than a short horse to a tall rider. A 15H horse is just fine for a 5'3" person provided they are not excessivley overweight. I have a 15H horse and I am 5'6". By contrast, my daughter is 5 1/2yrs old and rides 16 hand or taller horses regularly. Height is less important than weight.
The height of a horse is determined by the number of hands he is from the ground to the top of his withers. The king of England decided to measure them that way, so he measured a horse with the width of his hand, 4 inches, so each hand is four inches. Say a horse was 16 hands high. That horse would be 64 inches high. if you are measuring a small pony, you just measure from the ground to his withers in inches.
