Overweight TikToker Complains Ranch Wouldn’t Let Her Ride A Horse


“…An overweight TikTok star recently complained that a small business refused to allow her to ride one of its horses due to her weight.
Remi Bader, who has more than 2 million followers thanks to her fashion videos, posted a TikTok claiming Deep Hollow Ranch made her “leave because I weigh over 240” pounds…
…The ranch has an online blog with a post titled “How Much Weight Can A Horse Carry? (Weight Limit To Ride)” that explains that a horse can carry a person weighing up to 15% of the horse’s body weight, not including saddle and other gear. For Bader, who said in her TikTok that she weighs over 240 pounds, she would require a horse that weighs at least 1,600 pounds. Your typical horse breeds (Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Arabian) fall under 1,200 pounds. Bader would have required a draft horse or a Clydesdale – one of the larger breeds. Many stables don’t have these breeds available for lessons or trail rides…”
