Being four foot tall doesn't mean you are too tall to ride a shetland but it also determines on weight. 4 foot 5 should be the limit and weight determines as well

Is a 14hand tall horse to small for a 5ft tall person?
if the horse is under a year old you should not ride it because its knees are not completely clamped together and if you ride at a young age and hurt its knees you will never be able to ride it again. no the answer is no a 14 hand pony( anything under 15 hands is a pony) is not to small for a five foot tall person. the question is is it strong enough? so if the pony is young or not strong or under weight save time and money don't ride it

How tall is a miniature pony?
It isn't about how old a horse/pony is before it is ridden it is about the age. The normal age for breaking in a horse/pony is around 3 y.o. It can take up to 6 months to fully break in a horse/pony. You can ride a horse/pony at any age as long as they are broken in or you are slowly bringing them into work ( breaking them in yourself). If you are able to break in a horse then you should start of with slow walks around the yard/menage/paddock etc so the horse/pony can start to trust you and then further educate him. I have heard of an 11 y.0 boy who was riding an 8hh ( hands high) shetland pony. It really doesn't matter how tall the pony is; it is about how tall the rider is. I would say a broken in shetland pony should have a rider aged 3 - 8. After this age you would move onto a 12-13.2h pony and by the age of 11/12 a 13.2 - 14.1 pony should be the right height and you will be able to keep the horse as you won't out grow it unless you are particulary tall for your age.
