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.
I would say pony size.
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....
i have a 12 hand pony and he has small feet my suggestion would be a small to extra small depending on the size of your pony's hoofs good luck with finding the right size : D !!! p.s. love Davis brand bell boots they are hard for the horses and pony's to tear up!
Normally a 5ft
The average speed of a regular horse is about 18 mph, I'm pretty sure ponies aren't much slower (of course it depends on the size of the pony, a 44 inch pony isn't going to run as fast as a 14.1hh pony).
Average size for an average non-pony breed would be between 15 to 16 HH.
horses are measured in hands a horse is bigger than 14.2hh a pony smaller than 14.2hh
A pony has cost that are vired depending on the type of the pony, the color, and the size.
no, fraid not babe.

Size. A pony stops being a pony and is a horse at 14.2 hh.
The actual size will depend on how long the pony is.
If each of the pony's size and weight is the same the cost should be the same.

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.

It should unless the pony has a very large head. Cob sized tack is similar to Arabian size.
