either thatâs a small horse or a tall man, regardless i doubt heâs within 15% of the horseâs body weight :/ iâm not gonna say this guyâs a bad trainer or anything but please aaaaalways make sure you and your tack fall within 15% of the horseâs body weight!! even if youâre just gonna hop on for a minute, you can do serious damage to your horseâs spine if you exceed 20%, 15% or less being ideal
@@maddie.1824 it does, but the absolute max for a healthy horse is still only 20%. there are many studies that support this and look into the damages to the musculoskeletal system in horses when weight is pushed past 20% even for just a moment. also, bone structure has nothing to do with it. i see the argument a lot that some ponies have denser bones, however this is to compensate for their small frame and disproportionate weight and there are further studies that show these ponies are no exception to the 20% rule. all that being said, there is no way this guy is 20% of the horseâs body weight.
@@katiereed514 a healthy horse can 100% carry more than 20% of their body lmao. there is also studies proving this. look up âequine samsara 20% ruleâ and there will be videos with evidence that prove that 20% rule isnât true and depends on each horse. i would put the links but yt wonât let me
the study that many people go to, âEvaluation of Indicators of Weight-Carrying Ability of Light Riding Horsesâ isnât good enough as evidence. They didnât use fit horses. The study talks about the plasma lactate concentration/serum creatine kinase, which is viewed as a negative thing. However it isnât a negative thing because the elevation of serum creatine kinase depends on the individual horse. here is a quote from someone who is talking about the study and why itâs wrong. âIOW, what the researchers "discovered" was that horses respond to exercise the same way humans do. And amazingly, the CK levels only went up when these out of riding shape horses were ridden at 30% of their body weight. It didn't even happen at 25%! This indicates horses, without exercise, retain the ability to carry weights up to 25% of their own WITHOUT THEIR BLOOD SHOWING THE NORMAL RESULTS OF EXERCISE!â
@@maddie.1824 interesting, because that is certainly not the ONLY study iâve seen in regards to the 20% rule. also, any article (because itâs never an actual study, itâs always an article) that i have seen arguing the 20% rule is not true always has multiple errors. multiple things that prove the people making these articles have no idea what theyâre talking about. when there are multiple studies, actual scientific studies, that show even when only pushing to 23% it can cause the horse to go lame, have serious pain, and even display behaviors that align with the horse being in severe pain. âhereâs is a quote of someone who is talking about the 20% rule and why itâs wrongâ, not âhere is a scientific study that shows itâs wrongââŠbecause no actual scientist or vet would agree that the 20% rule is wrong. we have had this research for over 100 years and itâs continuously tested and updated by actual scientific studies. not just âsomeone saying itâs wrongâ.
She is soooo beautiful!!!
NEAT! THANK U! Iv never seen a fox trotter! Luv to see more!
She is so gorgeous.
She is a really beautiful mare for suređ
She loves it!
Ohhh well done!
I love her dark eyes...
Iâm trying to really understand the gaited horse. Ty for some explanation.
First post and first like! Thanks for posting.
U should let her do her natural gait. Itâs better for gaited horses. I ride twhs
What is her name, age and colour? Interesting to see an MFT with another colour!
MFTs come in all colors. She was a client horse. I believe she was 4 and she is a gray.

the amount of weight a horse can carry depends on age, bone structure, health, muscle etc

Sir are u riding in a garage?
No lol itâs our horse barn.
@@homesteadhorsemanshipLOL sorry for confuscion
You are far too big for that pony. It's cruel. And yes, I am a very experienced with horses so I know what I'm talking about.
She's pacey gaited
Nothing about that pacey. A pace is when both legs are moving on one side in time with each other. She is bilateral
Are you not a little big to ride this horse?
No not at all
Did you just fat shame this poor man? đ„ș
Pretty sure he isn't...
