how do you tell someone who's pretty big with a small horse that there way to big for there horse (100 - 150 pounds too big) and they ride a lot. someone who you like to ride with once in a while and who absolutely loves their horse.

The horse is getting sore and frustrated

Horses can carry more than you may think especially if the rider can balance themselves. I only know of one rider where the weight cause pain and her instructor brought it to her attention. I agree with ruling everything else out and then honestly... I think it's probably not your place to mention it as that's a really tricky situation if it is the case.

It is true that a balanced heavy rider is easier for a horse to carry than an unbalanced bean pole rider. I wouls also venture to guess that the person (girl?) is well aware of her size.
You could say, "Do you ever wish you had a bigger horse?" I mean embedded in some innocent conversation.
