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.

At what age is a horse to old to work?
Not knowing if you mean the age of the horse or the riders age. Both will be answered here. A rider can ride until physically unable to do so, there is no age limit. As long as a horse is healthy and physically able to bare weight, it can be ridden. Well, you don't really have to stop at a certain age. But maybe when your old and can barely walk. But I say if the horse is fine, you can ride. So when ever you feel like stopping is the age.
What is the best horse for a ten year old?
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
If your 4.11 how tall should your horse be or can you have a pony?
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

Is a shetland pony the best breed for 11 year old?
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.
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

Can a nine year old girl ride a shetland pony?
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.

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
How old can you get a pony?
It all depends on what breed the pony is, where it is kept and so on, the oldest pony to have lived was 56 year old and died in May 2007. Answer2: The horse mentioned in the above answer was named Shayne, he was a Iris draught / Thoroughbred cross and therefore was not a pony, as Pony is a height designation only. That being said Ponies tend to live as long or longer than full sized horses. You can ride a pony of almost any age provided they are sound and healthy.
