>>>> That's just one instance; I believe it's been stated by other imported trainers with the amount at 250 lbs.
I've noticed that the figure often inflates depending on the size of the sucker (uh, I mean buyer) they are talking to at the moment. When 235-pound Cary was the potential victim, the sellers told us they could easily carry 300 pounds. (Not Robyn, Christine or Anneliese, but the Icelanders.) I actually saw 400 pounds listed once. What kills me is that the show standards (FEIF) are encouraging folks to breed more refined horses, while many sellers are inflating the weight carrying ability of the breed. It simply can't work that way. Karen Thomas, NC
