WELCOME, we are glad you found our site.

This is a site for overweight equestriennes, equestrian or equestrians who want to lose weight and get back on that horse. Remember when you were thinner and could swing up unto that bareback horse? Remember when all the cowboys/cowgirls looked your way while you were out on your horse? Do you have KOOOOOL riding clothes that no longer fit you? Wanna get "it" back? This site is to encourage us not only to loose weight and watch calories but to get out there and ride/train and do horse chores rather then staying indoors eating.

Any and all discipline welcome. Show horses, trail riders, dressage, jumpers, vaulting, hunt seat and hunters, team penners, ropers, barrel racers, Rodeo Lovers and participators, packers or those that pack, those that are farriers, shoers, trimmers, trainers or do training. Pony cart, sleigh, cutter, carriage drivers or those that drive horses or have harness horses. Does not matter if you ride English or Western, if your butt looks fat in that saddle, this site is for you.

Do you enjoy horse camping? If you are a "fat rider" or just a bit "overweight", this site is for you.

We even have crafts for you to enjoy including, but not limited to, Breyer Horse items to make for your own model. Enjoy the site.

I added Bicycle Information and Ideas for loosing weight to this site too. I have been out riding and enjoying bicycles again. I have found not only am I loosing weight, I am so much for fit with better balance. I had forgotten how much I LOVE riding a bike!

On our Bicycle Blog page there are ideas and information on how to make Bicycle Panniers, convert a Child's Trailer, that is pulled behind a bicycle, to a Camping Equipment Trailer, as well as other types of Bicycle Bags and more, much much more. I hope you will take a peek at the page.

Please enjoy the Blog and other Bicycle Pages I have been adding here on this site.

If you have been wanting to ride a horse, or start riding again, but are have become too large to do so, or to ride as well as you used to this is your site!

Some folks will tell you it is ok to ride a horse while you are fat/obese. Oh come on, let's be honest?????? You don't even want to carry that extra weight yourself! Why would you ask your horse to???? How much weight can a horse carry? Well, it depends on the horse, what the weight is, and why you want the equine to carry so much. An overweight rider does not have the balance that they once did before putting on all the weight. So the horse is carrying more of "dead weight".

If you are going to ride heavy, ride a larger, stouter horse, not a fat horse, a well built horse.

It used to be that finding a large saddle seat, that is for the larger rider to sit correct in, was very hard to find and very expensive. These days a person can find large seated saddles....but, what type are comfortable for the Equine we are riding? Is the saddle tree made well enough for the larger rider? You might find some of these questions answered on our Product Review page on this site and also at our www.HorseProductReview.com website.

Working with horses from the ground is nothing new. Agility for all types of animals is "old news", (see our sister sites to the right for photos and videos of our dogs, goats, guinea pigs, pet rats, hamsters, gerbils, mice, fish and more doing agility).

But the Sport of Horse Agility with Competitions and Clinics is New and Growing Quickly. I have said it about every species of animal and agility.....THE ANIMALS LOVE IT AND THE BOND BETWEEN TRAINER AND ANIMAL WILL TIGHTEN WITH AGILITY WORK.

The other thing is! Horse Agility is a GREAT WORK OUT FOR THE HUMAN TOO!
