UNICORN TRAILS HEAVIER RIDER HOLIDAYS Most horse riding holidays have a weight limit of some sort. This is usually dependent on the breed of horse used, type of terrain covered and pace of the ride. On average, weight limit is 95kg/15 stone/210lb. However we do have several rides which are suitable for riders heavier than this and these are listed below.
Some rides may also have one or two horses that are suitable for heavier riders and an expereinced rider can always help a horse on different terrain, so always contact us if you are over the weight limit for a particular ride you like.
