The size of the pony will depend on what size you are and possibly if you are done growing or not. A horse or pony should not carry anymore than 20% of it's own bodyweight, this includes the tack and riders weight, this means that for example a 1,000 pound horse or pony could carry up to 200 pounds of weight, so long as it is reasonably fit. As for height that is really more of a preference unless you are above average height. Typically an adult female of average height can ride a pony or horse anywhere from 13.2 to 16 hands with no problem, this also applies to adult men. If you are above average height then the height of the horse or pony can increase a bit. If the rider were a growing child you can either start out with a small pony and just change to a larger one as the child grows or buy one that the child can grow into height wise over time.

∙ 12y agoIt'll depend on how big the pony is but a good rule of thumb is two acres per horse/pony and another two to rotate patures. If that is not possible a pony can make due with just one acre so long as it is properly maintained and rested regularly.

What size cooler does a 14.1 hands pony wear?
The height of the pony isn't really what determines the size of the cooler, it's the length of the pony and the cut and style of the cooler. A fitted cooler or shaped cooler must cover the shoulders and buttocks of the horse, for this you will need to measure from the point of the shoulder backwards to the point of the buttocks. If the size is odd round up to the next even size (i.e if the pony came out at 45 inches long you would round to 46 inches). For a square cooler you should measure along the pony's top-line from the poll to the tail head area, again rounding up the size if it is a odd number.

What size cinche for a 12.2hh pony on average?
There is no real 'average' girth size for any horse or pony just based on height alone. You need to have a flexible tape measure like a seamstress tape and measure the girth area of the pony. You should have at least two holes above and at least one hole below where the girth would attach to the billets.
