I know you are all sick of these threads - so I apologise in advance
A friend has asked if I will ride her daughters pony for a few weeks as the daughter has broken her arm and they want to keep the pony in work. It will be a few times a week, hacking w/t/c and some schooling.
I think I may be a bit on the big size though. The pony is fairly cobby, but I would guess only 13hh, maybe even a little smaller. I'm just over 5ft5 and 8st 3 with all my riding gear on. I currently ride a 15.1hh connie cross and my feet hang level with her belly, so I would look absolutely ridiculous on this pony, but could he carry me??
