What Did My Coach Mean?
Ok,so heres how it went. I was having my first lesson at my new barn and the put me on the heeuge belgain cross. During the lesson I kept sliding to the right because she insisted on doing the girth and didnt do it tight enough. Anyway she kep telling me to sty more left because it would mess up his back because. Then she was like, we'll have to make do because he's the only one big enough for you and I was like WTF? I didnt know if she meant tall or fat. Im pretty tall 5'5ish and not totally skinny but not really fat but totally self concious. At my other barn they put me on the horses they would put 8 year olds on. The horses arn't super tall at the new barn. Mostly paints and shorter arabians. But still it made me feel really bad. What do you think she meant????Thanks.
I don't know. Since it was your first lesson, I doubt that she would be thinking about you showing this horse. It does seem as though she was insinuating that you are too heavy for the other horses (as 5' 5'' is average, not tall). You'll have to ask her to know for sure, though.
I just wanted to say that an Arab can carry you and look good doing it, provided you aren't 250+ pounds. They were created to have tremendous load-carrying capacity- short backs, deep girths, sturdy legs set wide apart. They ARE work horses in delicate, svelte suits.
