Answer 1

Andalusians are great horses that are very big. They are great and train really easily. Plus, the ride is really smooth. If you get one for him though, you will be really jealous. When they cantar its like nothing in this world. they are the best!!

Answer 2

most horses could handle that kind of weight.  of course you'd want a strong, thicker built horse, but you could find one in almost any full size breed.

Answer 3

wooden

Answer 4

I should think that a young, healthy quarterhorse would have no problem holding your husband.  John Wayne was about the size of your husband and there were obviously many horses that held him.

Happy trails!

Answer 5

Clydsdale or maybe some draft horses. but most horses providing they are healthy and over abt 15 h. can hold him

Answer 6

Troy

Answer 7

Clydesdale

Answer 8

Having worked with horses for many years, I can tell you that a quarter horse can certainly bear 280 without a problem!  Make sure that the horse is within15.5- and up!  If you prefer a Thoroughbred then I recommend dutch warm-bloods, they are a very tall and sound animal and most are right around 16. Have fun and try not to jump your animals as it is not a natural event!  Take care smokey

Answer 9

a Clydesdale...maybe..he's not wanting to eat this horse, is he?

Answer 10

A horse that's in the olympics or a horse that is rlly big
