Subject: 75 lb load was dogs ride

The reason our msar tries to limit the load to 75 lbs. is because it's static

weight. Like dead weight it doesn't move with the horse like a rider

would making the horse have to work harder to stay balanced. We are

usually deploying into the mountains with lots of narrow trails and ups

and downs.
