Are you asking is it okay to ride a horse when they are on just hay? It is completely fine to ride a horse that is on just hay. My horse is fat as a cow and she was on all hay, no feed all summer. I rode her regularly.

=You can typically get your horses' hooves trimmed every 6-8 weeks. Depending on the style of work you do, if your horse is just sitting in the backyard then you should be okay with 10 weeks.

How soon a horse can be ridden after any kind of injection is debatable among even professionals. However if the horse appears fine and is not stiff in the injection site it is generally okay to ride the horse lightly the same day as the injections were given. If the horse appears stiff or a bit lethargic it might be best to wait a day or so and let the horse work out the soreness himself during turnout time.

You do not select the horse you are riding based on your height, but on the type of riding you will be doing. For instance I am a hunter jumper and I am 5 ft. tall and I ride a 17.2 hand horse. He is big but he works for the kind of work I do and the height of the jumps I jump. They say as long as you are 20% or less of the horses weight, you are okay to ride it.

The horse works also since he is the one moving his body in the pace and direction that the rider asks for. Horse and rider are a team.
