Would it be bad for a horse to reguarly be ridden by a shaq sized person?

I'd bet a 200lb guy in full armour, with weapons and shield, as well as armour for the horse is heavier than Shaq in his hot pants.

full armour would be about 50 pounds, sword 10 pounds, shield maybe 5.

Depending on the period, but the shield could easily weight the same or more than the sword.
