In our therapeutic riding program we love the short coupled body of
the fjord or smaller draft crosses for carrying weight. A horse with a nice
short back and good conformation can always out carry a long backed one.
One important aspect is whether the weight is dead weight or mobile
weight. A well balanced 3oo lb. person would be much easier to carry than a 150
lb.
person who is nonmobile or sliding everywhere. Many times our equine
therapists let us know what they are comfortable with.
Hope that helps. Robyn in MD
