Definitely too heavy!!!

you have t be less than 200 lbs. to re a horse or else you'll break its back

yu have tolse alot of weight and unless you are 7 feet yo are obese anyway so go to the gym

- salinas

(Besides disparaging this person for their weight you did not answer correctly. And really without your comment I'm sure they did not realize how heavy they are)

A: One should weigh no more than 20% of the horse to ride. Less is better, e.g. jockeys. So your particular horse should be nearing 2000 lbs. If you have a large horse available, go for it but be extra careful to take it easy as you know you'll fall harder at that weight. I am 310 and am currently investigating a place to take my kid for a ride - she's been begging for years and I can't put it off any longer.....have fun!

How young is too young to start horseback riding lessons?

In this instance, I think you're right!

For her safety, I would wait a few years.

Do you lose weight by horseback riding?

Horseback riding is a form of exercise and, like all forms of exercise, it is possible to lose weight. It you're also mucking out stalls, throwing hale bales, carrying water buckets, etc. in the barn you will be getting even more exercise and be more likely to lose weight. Remember that there are two parts to losing weight: the amount you exercise (physical activity), and the amount you eat. You can exercise all you want, but if you're eating too much it won't make any difference.
