To tall?
I dont see how you can be to tall?
I know a guy who is 6'4 and he is one of the best riders I know!
I know a tiny little girl who is just naturally light and she can whip her pony around like noone I know! So that is a false statement!

If you have any q's pm me! Im on all the time!!!

Anna

catapult...i think ben was saying that u should not be too tall or underweight for the horse ur riding, like ur legs shouldn't go past the horses girth area

there's a lot to do with riding and such, so ill post a few:

remember to put ut heels down when riding
remember to talk to horse and be in contact with it when passing behind
don;t rip at horses mouth
turn horse in circle if he runs away with u
when posting...rise and fall with leg on wall
