I must need a bigger horse.....

I was asked to bring my little paso(?) mare out to the fairgrounds last week to give a quick demonstration of how a gaited horse should move (not alot of gaited horses around here).
When I was done, I was talking to a couple of the women who run the horse barn with my wife and a couple of parents walked up and pulled the head of the horsemans association aside...... long story short, having never seen a gaited horse these women and their daughters thought I was too big to be riding my horse and thought I was hurting her and she was limping around the course......
Man folks are hard on a guys self esteem!
In their defense I am larger than the average american and she deffinately isnt a big horse.
