You are wrong about weight of the rider. https://www.helpfulhorsehints.com/right-size-horse-for-your-height-and-weight/

I grew up riding. We had a trained 16.5 hand hunter/jumper that my father and I both rode on together comfortably. He was around 240-265 of pure muscle. I was 4-10yrs old during the time so less than 100lbs. I have also done some stockyard work and seen some fatties work a large horse without any issues. EDIT: like the post regardless :-)
