Depends what breed it is and how fit it is. If it is a thick set cob then it could probably carry an adult, but if it is an Arab then only a light child. But ponies are very sturdy, my sister is 5ft 7" and she still rides her 13.2

∙ 13y agoThis will vary be breed, sex, age etc. A formula to estimate a horse/ponies weight from Texas A&M is this.
Use a plastic measuring tape, wrap it around the pony's girth, just behind the elbow. write this number down. then measure from the point of shoulder to the point of buttock, write this number down.
Now do the following math. Girth X girth X length divide by 330= lbs.
Example 70 X 70 X 78 divide 330 =1158lbs. This is accurate to within 24 pounds.

The maximum weight for a pony is calculated using the same formula as for a horse. A horse or pony should never carry more than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes the rider and equipment.

As an example a 800 lb (362.8kg) pony can carry a maximum of 160 lbs (72.5 kg) in combined rider and equipment weight.
