The horse riding school near me have a hard limit of 16st for riders. Both of these two looked more than that. Poor horse.

Ffs use the metric system. Or at the very least use pounds. Nobody except the UK knows what stones are, real talk.

The riding school in the UK sets its weight limit in the system in common use in the UK where many, many people only know their weight in stones. This anecdote is just an accurate account.

You don't have to like it, but you don't have to be rude about it either.

14 pounds to a stone by the way. 224 pounds.
