it's a pdf file but basically most on that list is 5'2-5'5 and 105-110 lbs average. There are a few who are taller but still around 130lbs I believe one of the well known pros from awhile back has a weight discussion somewhere and it basically tells you that if you want to win at the top level and help your horse you basically have to be 110lbs and no more. That is a bit of a stretch but still true.. less weigh helps a horse run faster but there's some who weigh 140 and a little more and still top NFR girls; they are just very far and few between. |

How come there are so many successful men running in futurities and divisional barrel races that definately are over 110? Personally I think it has more to do with balance and aggressive riding! |

Location: Pacific Northwest | I don't think "weight" is the factor, I think it's being fit. Like someone else pointed out, there are a lot of guys in the futurity world that definitely weigh over 110. But they're also fit and have great balance.
A fit 140lb person is going to ride better than a person that weighs 140lbs because they're overweight, IMO.
ETA I only weigh 110 and I get outran by plenty of people that weigh more than me (;

I think it has to do with being a balance rider too, but most of the men that I see winning or not big, they are small frame and light weight. |

yep most of the MEN are not big guys. I probably outweigh 90% of them and I'm not big or heavy. I posted facts, not my own opinion on the weight thing. I could care less. If you have a horse who can carry the extra pounds and win, more power to the horse! |

This. Being 6'0, I would look SICK at 110 lbs. My fit, healthy weight is about 150 lbs or so, with a low BMI. |

I'm not overly tall, but at 5-07 I wouldn't have the strength to ride right at 110. (I don't fall into the big girl category either, I just like to point out that it's more about strength to weight ratio.). Can you do more than one pull up, unassisted? Can you do more than 25 push-ups without stopping? Then your strength to weight ratio probably needs some work.
I don't care who you are, if you're overweight you cannot do a pull up. And you are at a disadvantage in timed events. Not saying it can't be done, but I haven't seen many overweight or out of shape girls at NFR. |
