If you are too tall for a pony, ride a horse instead.
A pony is anything under 14.2 hands. Anything taller would be considered a horse.
No, actually, she would be too tall. I know someone who is about that height and rides a pony that size, and her feet are nearly at his knees when she rides bareback.
it stands for pony of the Americas it is spotted a cross between an Appaloosa and a pony about 14 hands tall
A 148 cm pony is just over 58 inches tall, or roughly 14.2 hands.
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.
how tall pony
a pony is a horse under 14.2 hands tall.
pony
You could have a pony about 13.0 hands tall but no smaler and a horse at any size but you might want one 15.2 hands tall or shorter.
If you mean 9.0 hands then your pony is 36 inches tall at the withers (located at the bottom of the mane). a hand is 4 inches
the Chinese king had a pony tail too
Yes, but make sure its not too big for it and the person riding the pony is not too big for it.
They can be up to 14.2 hands.
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.
