I am 5''6 and weigh 10.13 stone (although it is going down) and I'm wondering wether or not I'm too big for the riding school ponies that I ride. They are:
Biscuit - 13.2hh Highland pony gelding.
Tiffany - 14hh cobby pony mare.
Holly - 13.3hh Connemara mare.
Tommy - 14.1hh cob gelding.
Black Bob - 14hh Fell pony gelding.
Kevin - 13hh irish pony gelding.
Buster - 12.2hh heinz variety gelding.
Billy - 12.3hh heinz gelding.
Toby - 12hh Welsh x gelding.
They don't seem to be uncomforable when I ride them and often the likes of Tiffany, Holly, Kevin and Toby can be difficult to stop when they get going. Biscuit is VERY spooky and sometimes takes off when he sees something scary and bucks. Tommy, Black Bob, Buster and Billy can be a bit lazier but I can still manage to keep them near the front of the ride and they don't try and stop when I ride them - they are often even lazier for other people.
