Best Answer

The maximum weight for a pony is calculated using the same formula as for a horse. A horse or pony should never carry more than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes the rider and equipment. Remember that 20% is the upper limit, anything below that is better for the pony. As an example a 800 lb (362.8kg) pony can carry a maximum of 160 lbs (72.5 kg) in combined rider and equipment weight.

How much does a big pony weigh?

The amount of weight a pony can take when ridden depends entirely on its size and breed, health and stamina. It's a subjective question. Depending on the breed and age miniature pony's/common dwarf horse (standing at 24-32 inches high at the shoulder can safely carry between 30-60 Lbs. which is roughly the average child up to 10 years old... Depending on breed and age,the average size pony standing at 40-58 inches high at the shoulder (mostly seen at fairs and carnavals for pony rides) can safely carry between 100-175 Lbs,There are also other pony breeds that are more stocky and muscular that can safely carry 200-250 Lbs....


How much weight can 12hh horse carry?

A pony this size needs a small rider. A weight of 50 to 80 lbs would be ideal. Depending on the build and health of the pony may also factor into his weight limit. Remember too, if a child starts to outgrow his pony he can always be trained to pull a cart. A 12hh pony can easily pull a cart and full grown person. Warning:If your pony has never been trained to drive don't try to do this yourself. This can be dangerous if you don't know how to train.


What is the max weight a miniature donkey can carry?

Any equine, including donkeys and mules, can pull their own weight (cart n harness animals) and carry 20% of their own body weight. So if your mini is 300 lbs he can 60lbs (that includes tack as well). Donkeys are reputed to being a bit stronger than horses, but the standard rule of thumb is they can pull how much they weight and they can ride 20% of what they weigh.

It's not so much the pony's height as it is his build that will influence the riders weight. A horse shouldn't carry more than 20%of it's own body weight, this includes the rider and tack. But keep in mind that a shorter sturdier horse/pony with thick cannon bones and broad loins will always be stronger and more able to carry heavier weights than taller horses.
