Hi Everyone in MD,

As some of you may know, I have a horse and I'm a huge advocate of horseback riding as exercise. Ok, so maybe not so huge anymore since I'm a little smaller, but you know what I mean.  It's a great way to enjoy physical activity and the outdoors.

So, I have been leasing out my horse out cause I don't have time to ride him as much as he needs but the person leasing him got busy too. So I thought of all of you here and wanted to tell you in case anyone has been interested in riding a horse (for the first time or getting back into it after many years) but hasn't due to their size.

My horse is strong and can handle a rider up to about 300lbs. I won't say it's a strict limit but I'd like to keep it around there.  I know many places where they say the horses are limited to 200lbs and if you're close to 300 you might be embarassed to give riding a try anyway.

So, I'm looking to lease him out (ideally to the same person for riding 2-3 times a week but I'm ok with different people who only want to ride once a week too.) 

He is boarded in Upper Marlboro and the barn is very nice with an indoor and outdoor ring and trails. What you can do with him is dependant on your skill level and if you've never ridden before I would want to give you lessons in the ring rather than just letting you go out and do whatever you want.

Please PM me if you're interested. I would love to give someone the chance to experience something they love or have never tried.

Highest Wt: 274 / LAP-Band Low: 180 / Sleeved at 233 / Goal: 160!
