Well done on the weight loss - you must be so proud of yourself!

The trouble with weight is that it's not always as easy as 'Somebody weighs X amount therefore you can ride a horse of X height and X build'. It depends to a certain amount on rider experience - as a rider as say 14 stone will 'ride' lighter than a rider than 13-13.5 stone, due to balance and how the rider can carry themselves in the saddle.

When I broke my arm, I had my male friend ride my very lightweight TB who weighed 15 stone, which is verging on the limit that he could comfortably take. However, I wouldn't personally put a lesser experienced rider who weighed less on him (actually, I'd never put a novicey rider on my TB - they'd never make it back alive!)
