Hiya,
Just want a bit of advice. A lady whose horse I excercise is soon moving her horse away and buying a pony to keep it company and for her kids to ride. She asked me if Id like to go along with her when she's looking for the pony (very exciting!) and Id really like to carry on helping her when she has moved. Her kids wont be able to ride the pony all the time so I was going to offer to help her out by riding it when she cant (she is much smaller than me so will also be riding it herself).
She's looking around the 13.2hh mark but may go off - a fairly well built pony but not a cob or anything.
Im 9stone and (this is the annoying part) about 5'10". Mostly leg.
What is the smallest pony (size and type) you think it would be fair for me to ride, and for how long?
Thanks for any advice.
