well i depends how heavy and tall u are....if u wouldn't mind saying... also how hard u r plannng on riding it,,,,if ur talking 1-2 hours walk trot canter so a full work out i would say ud have to b under 80 pounds and shorter than 4'8. im 13, and 111 (pounds) and 5'3 and the shortest pony i can ride with a full workout is 12.3 hh
No im 13 and I ride a 12.2hh. Depends on your height though. I think 5ft 9 is the maximum height limit for a 13.2hh pony. Hope this helps. x
absolutely not! that would hurt the horse, and possibly the 13yr old as well!
You can NOT ride a horse or a pony at a year old. You will will cause serious damage to their growing body. A large horse is not done developing until 6-8 years of age and a small horse/pony is not done until 4-5 years of age. People how ride their horses before this time most likely will end up with horses that are arthritic and will not live very happy lives.

There is no set height as to how tall or short you need to be. Its is more your weight and ability to get on the horse (you wouldn't buy a 5 year old a 16 hand horse). Just remember that you plus your tack should be no more than 15-20% of the pony's bodyweight. :) For weight you can also go on a general ratio of one stone of your weight to one hand of the horses height, so for a 14hh pony anyone above 14st would be advised not to ride it. this is more important than height but if the riders legs come below the pony's belly they will just look silly :D
Yes, animals can ride ocean currents and many of them do. An example is the humpback whale. They ride the Leeuwin current each year for their annual migration.
the best horse for a 10 year old would vary on their experience and height. an always good horse would be a quarter horse or quarter pony. any type of medium height pony (if the size permits) would work. also welsh ponies are among the best. mixed breeds make good rides too. you can also go to your local barn to ask a professional trainer to find you a suitable pony/horse. hope i helped, a pony luver
Yes you can ride a Shetland pony, but i would sugest that you learn how to ride properly before trying to takle a Sheltland, as they can get quite tempermental, and tend to buck their riders off. Do not expect that just because the pony is small that it will be easy to ride, they are just as hard to ride as regular horses. Also it depends on how heavy this 15 year old girl is, if she is 100-150 lb it would work but not overly heavy as you could injure the pony.
it mainly depends on how old the pony is and how big it is.(hieght wise)
You should ride the horse you will learn the most from.
Well, you could try, but it wouldn't make much sense, considering that the provided height and weight are too much for a Shetland Pony.
YES YOU CAN. A SHETLAND PONY CAN TAKE WEIGHT ANYWHERE FROM 200-250 lbs.
A pony…
A Shetland pony is a very small pony and will quickly be out grown by an 11 year old, so unless you have other very young children who could ride it, or teach it to pull a cart, then I would suggest moving up to a small horse or large pony.
Yes, I've been riding for 10 years. I went to the USEF Pony Finals last year.
I would imagine that largely depends on how big the 17 year old is and how big the pony is. A tall heavy 17 year old would obviously be too big for a small pony. It would probably be best to ask advice from a reputable local riding stables.
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

um age doesnt have anything to do with it, if the pony has had good quality training and can be trusted then there is no reason a three year old couldn't ride it. But most people what a horse with more experence for a little kid to ride, a good babysitter in other words. you have to use your judgment and get the oppion of other people as well
