Can stables weigh my daughter rather than accept my word?

[TheQuaintLemonDuck]

Are stables entitled to weigh my daughter rather than just take my word for it?

OP, are you going to acknowledge any of the posts from MNetters who have read your earlier thread?

You know, the one where you say you know for a FACT your daughter has gained weight?

Or are you just going to continue ignoring the elephant in the room?

It's been mentioned quite a few times now.

You havent weighed your own dd for 6 months so you dont know her weight, you could easily be one of the parents putting a child too heavy on a horse if the stables dont check.

Why would dd be embarrassed she is growing so her weight should be increasing.

There are some cases where an accurate weight is important in order to be able to complete the activity, bungee jumping, parachuting, horse riding….

In those cases your choice is to get weighed or to not ride, you need to just explain to your daughter that they are weighing to ensure that she gets the right horse and no people or animals are hurt when it could have been easily avoided.

I don’t even ride & I still want to know the answer to this.

They should.

Either youre telling the truth and then it makes no difference

Or youre mistaken or lying and could injure the animal

Strictly speaking, they can't weigh your daughter without your agreement.

If it's the same dd as on op's other thread, she's 17. She can give permission herself.

(If it's another, younger, daughter, then op's permission might be needed.)

You are creating a big problem for your daughter with your need to keep her weight a family secret.
everyone gets weighed or they don’t ride

Mate. Come on now. We see what you’re doing.

To be fair to OP, is this likely to be the same DD? Would a 17 year old girl be going to pony camp?

You are joking, aren't you? Weight can very enormously in six months. Just weigh your daughter FFS.

Pony club allows people up to age 25

Could be, but the OP has totally ignored all comments asking her to clarify!

Brilliant. The pony club are showing a great example to the children - pony welfare is important.
They are all getting weighed, so there is no reason for your daughter to be embarrassed, you just need to present it to her in a positive way. Of course, as said above, she could be embarrassed if she's found to weigh more than you stated on the paper work.

She’d said “camp” though so I thought it might be a holiday camp for younger kids.

True that! OP, how many daughters do you have?

if the DD is 17, then it could well be an under 18s holiday camp, but pony club do hold most camps and they allow people aged 25

You didn't see your own thread about your own DD's "visceral fat"??
Here's a link in case you've forgotten:

Well obviously this has been said a million times, they’re perfectly entitled to do so , their stables , their rules.
Our stables has a strict 15 stone limit written onto the form , I don’t know if they’ve ever had to weigh a client but I would be impressed if they did ! Horses welfare comes first

Whether or not you've seen it, it happens. Disingenuously asking where it happens is irrelevant.

I've been around horses most of my life including stints working or liverying my horses at riding schools. I've seen parents claim plenty of times that their little darling is absolutely fine to ride Sandy The Little Pony, despite woefully having outgrown them or being too big in the first place. I get that a) they don't want their child to be upset when they can't ride their favourite any more and/or b) they don't understand that horses can only take a certain weight (and that's before the fact that a beginner will always sit heavier than the same weight of experienced rider) but horse welfare comes first.

You don't have to let them weigh your daughter but they don't have to let your daughter ride their horses. To go by posts here, you clearly know your daughter has gained weight so why pretend she hasn't?

If you haven’t lied, she won’t be embarrassed.

It is perfectly understandable, that for the welfare of the horses, that they weigh everyone. They cannot just weigh the people they think might have told a fib.

It will only be embarrassing for your DD if you have lied or you make a big deal of it.

Is this the 17 year old? Or a different daughter?

You’ve said yourself in your other thread that your daughter has put on a noticeable amount of weight in the past year.

so why are you using her weight from 6 months ago on the form and calling it her current weight? When you clearly know it is incorrect?

your concern for the wellbeing of the horses is coming across as very disingenuous.

OP refuses to clarify.

My son rode my 17.2hh boy when he was 4 years old. We don’t worry about horse being ridden by someone too light. We do see lots of people who conveniently underestimate their weight on a smaller horse

Why would she be embarrassed if you've given them her correct weight? Does she not know her own weight?
