6.2 stones (almost 87 pounds or 39.55 kilograms) is at the upper ranges of what a Shetland pony can carry. All horses and ponies should only ever carry 20% of their own bodyweight, since the average weight for a Shetland pony is 450 pounds ( 32.1 stone or 204.11 kg.) the maximum they should carry is 90 pounds ( 6.4 stone or 40.82 kg) this includes the rider and the tack added together.

A Shetland pony can typically carry up to 20-25% of its body weight, so your Shetland pony should be able to carry both you and your son. However, it is important to consider factors such as the pony's age, health, and fitness level before determining if the combined weight is too heavy for her. It's always best to consult with a veterinarian or equine specialist for personalized advice.
