If she can ride and is well balanced and he's a reasonably solid build, yes, no probs (as long as his saddle is a decent fit and a reasonable size i.e not a 16" )

If she is a noivce, you'd need to re-think or keep the rides short. Or if he's actually quite a light-weight pony, again, keep them short and build up.

This is Bryony - 14.2 and I weigh ****coughs 11 stone....coughs****** and I'm 5.5 with very short pork sausage legs!!

most cobs can carry a fair old weight, Bry could carry up to 14 stone I'd say

he is about the same build as your lol xx lovely pic

this is stan, he has had 15 stone on him and not blinked at it but the rider was a rasonably balanced rider (not the best but not a complete novice).
If it was a novice, you need to make allowance for them to ride about a stone heavier then they actualy are
