[haflingerfriends] Rider weight?

Hi All,

We are all aware that our golden ponies are renowned to be good weight carriers, but I am uncertain of how much weight the varying 'types' of haflinger can carry.

I know that there are a lot of factors to consider merely than the weight of the rider,ie rider balance, horse condition, bone measurement etc, but is there any rule of thumb for say a modern (sport) type, cobby type and the of course, the tank type!?

I would be most grateful for your opinions.

Thanks

Zoe (UK)
