not really a weight loss question just a 'fat person query' - not sure where to post it. Involves horse riding and center parcs,,,

well, as title suggests, wasn't sure where to post this so am gonna put it here and x post in travel.

I'm going to center parcs - whinfell in july. I really really really want to go horseriding and have been trying to lose weight for this reason (and many others of course). Anyway, have lost 10lbs but am still 14.10lbs (eek!!)

I'm sure i read somewhere in brochure that you have to be under 15stone to ride. Do they ask you when you go to the stables do you think? I really don't want to be announcing my huge weight to rest of my family (including super thin, super fit SIL).

Am gonna keep up with my diet but can't see me losing more than a couple of pounds by the time we go.

Anyone been horseriding, I was imagining trekking through a wood but am now wondering if they just have some girl leading you round in circles in a stable yard with loads of 3yr olds on ponies...

anyone any ideas or comments?

p.s - am not gonna lie about my weight cos of poor horse, i wouldn't like to carry me around for any length of time!

hi lucylala
sorry i don't know, but you could contact centerparcs direct to get a proper answer - by email if you're a bit selfconscious


i know how you feel btw, i want to go to alton towers again but i 'm worried about the weight limit/size of seats etc

(last time we went it wasn't an issue

anyway, what with all this stress and questions, remember to enjoy the holiday

I've been riding when we went to CP Longleat. If you're under the 15 stone then I don't think they'll ask you to prove it. We went out on a really good ride through some forrest area and had some good canters.

Keep up the good work with losing weight. You are welcome to join us on the Lardy Ladies thread where we post our losses each week, just nice to have others in the same boat with you IFSWIM.
