Sort of following on from a previous thread.
Unfortunately we have just sold my hubby's 16.1 ID, lovely fella as we can no longer afford to keep 2 at livery.
That leaves me with my 14.2. Welsh Section D who is pretty sturdy. Do you think my husband could ride her? He is (and I am too old to do metric) about 11 and a half stone and of slim build, about 5ft nine and a half.
He says he will feel a fool on such a small horse(!) but at a recent show I saw lots of men riding Welshies of her size in the Mountain and Moorland.
Any comments anyone - could he for instance hack her out for an hour or two? She is 11 and quite fit, never sick or sorry or lame.
Thanks
Snowflake
