Is it safe for horses to be ridden on all the time?
This wholly depends on if the horse is healthy and fit enough to carry a rider for long periods of time. If the horse has no ailments and is of good weight and fitness it can likely carry a rider for long periods of time with little to no harmful effects. The catch is that the rider must be a good rider and well balanced and quiet in the saddle or they will cause the horse to become sore. It's also best to let the horse have a short break from time to time. A horse that is old or very young should never be ridden for prolonged periods of time, not should a horse that is injured or ill in any way.
How do horses stay balanced when jumping?
As long as the rider is balanced, the horse will clear a jump more easily, by keeping balanced. So, the horse and rider have to work together in order to make the balance correct. Don't just rely on the horse - rely on you to!
Can a 5'5 woman fit on a 14.3 horse?
Absolutely. 5'5" is generally a fairly good size of rider for a 14.3hh horse. I am 5'9" and can safely ride small horses and large ponies. BUT it depends on the size of the rider and the condition of the horse.If a rider is 5'5" but weighs 200 lbs, then you would NOT want that rider on a small horse. As long as the rider is fairly fit and their weight is fairly proportional to their height (even if they are a little overweight) then it is safe for a rider who is 5'5" to ride a 14.3hh horse.The other factor to take into account is the condition of the horse. ANY horse, no matter what size or shape, is not suitable to be ridden by ANY rider if it is lame, sick, or simply too old and frail. Even if a rider is a good size proportionally for a particular horse, a horse that is older with stiffer joints or one with bad feet may do better with a much lighter/smaller rider.Choosing an appropriate horse-rider combination is up to the owner and/or trainer. If a rider is 5'5" and of proportional body weight, and the horse who is 14.3hh is fit and of an appropriate riding level for the level of the rider, then the match is safe :-)
Should you get a Arabian as the first horse you should ever get?

What is horse lunging?

What is the perfect size horse for a 14 stone 4 pounds 5'8'' beginner and what breed?
You will likely need a horse that is 15.3 hands up to 16.1 hands to make your height look proportionate, as for the weight,14 st 4 lb equals out to 200 pounds, so you will need a horse that weighs 1100 pounds ( 78.5 st, or 498.9 kg) and is in a moderately fit condition. Remember a horse should only ever carry 20% of it's total bodyweight, this includes both the rider and the tack together. As for breed, it doesn't really matter so long as the horse is well behaved and suitable for a beginner rider.
What are show jumps?
Distances are where your horse takes of before the jump. The bigger the jump the farther back the horse takes off. If it is a long distances the rider might fall behind in his/her two point(jumping posiotion) or the horse might knock down the pole. A short distance, or chip, might cause the horse to either refuse the jump or knock it down. A chip is also very uncomfortable from a riders point of view. A good course has perfect distances.

How long can horses go on trails with out getting tiered?
The length of the trail ride will vary due to a horses fitness level. Never take an unfit horse out on the trails, this is just asking for an injury. The heat is a factor but more important is the humidity level. The more humid it is the less a horse can sweat. A horse should be able to carry a rider (Not an overweight rider) for a minimum of one hour without any undue stress in good weather, assuming the horse is fit and the rider capable. The footing of the trail will also help decide how long a horse can go without tiring, deep sandy trails will wear down a horse faster than flat smooth trails will. If you are unsure about the horse you are riding, have a more experienced friend or trainer asses him and tell you what they think.
