How small of a pony could I realistically ride?
I’m 5′3″ and about 110 pounds. I’ve heard it should always go by weight of the pony- like the rider and tack should weigh no more than 20% of the pony itself. What do you think? Are there any general hand measurements I can estimate by?
Well, in this country we seem to tend to under estimate the weight a horse can take, in places like spain they seem to have horses carrying slightly heavier weights.
Not really relevant though, sorry.
I am just touching five feet myself and i ride a skinny 13.2 pony. He’s actually 24, (but he thinks that he’s six really) He’s a completely wild loon.
In terms of you, I’d say a 14.1/ 14.2 hand pony upwards would suit you. It depends if you still growing of course. Personally i think between 14.1- 15.2 horse would suit you well. Remember the stockier a horse, the smaller you look on them and the more comfortably they can take you weight.
Of course, it’s completely personal choice. Find the horse to fit you!
Have fun!
