Adult with ponies

[Stenners]

Any adults here with Ponies? How tall are you and how tall are your ponies? Pics would be fab! I do love big horses but hoping to purchase a little 14.2 Connie and I’m 5ft 4 and just hoping I’m not too big but i dont feel bit on her. I had a 14.3 before and felt fine!

 

[PSD]

I’m 5ft 3 and have a 13.2hh section c

 

[TheOldTrout]

I'm 5 foot 5 or so and my mare is 14.2. I prefer ponies to horses.

 

[MinKo]

Mine are 14.1 and 15hh don't know how to post pictures. I'm 5ft 2 in. Hilda is Highland x Welsh D, Honda is Connemara.

 

[The Xmas Furry]

Plenty of us on here, I'm 5ft 5 and on 141.5cms (just under 14hh in old money)




Went back to my 'old' days after bouncing around on 16.2, 8 or 9 yrs ago. Have a lot of fun with my current off roader ?

 

[Peglo]

I’m 5’5 and she is a 14.2 haflinger. Definitely want to keep slim to fit her but maybe I am too tall.

 

[teddypops]

5’5” here. I only like ponies. Mine range from 14hh to 14.3hh

 

[alexomahony]

Non of you are too tall! I’m 5’9 and have a 14.2 connie and a 15hh Welsh

Ponies are strong and so long as they are happy and comfortable carrying you that’s all that matters

 

[maya2008]

I am 5ft 4 and I find the perfect height is somewhere around 14.2hh-15hh. That said, I currently ride a 13.1hh pony and feel fine on her.

 

[planete]

I am 5'1 and have decided my ideal height is 13.2. I can even get on from the ground if I have to!

 

[Snow Falcon]

5'7 and my main ride is 14.1h. I will also ride my son's 13hh occasionally and the 13.3hh we've backed the past few months. Much prefer ponies. ?

 

[Ali27]

Mine is 14.2 and I’m 5ft 6! Love riding my pony ?

 

[paddi22]

I'm 5'6 and one of mine is a 14hh ish

 

[Caol Ila]

I’m 5’4 and my Highland is 14hh.

 

[HappyHollyDays]

I’m 5’4 and DP is an overgrown pony at 15hh, he should be 14.2 but grew bigger than desired and takes up the leg of a 6ft person with ease. He is as large as I would feel comfortable on and I need a mounting block or gate to get on. The Connie is 14.1 and a perfect size, zippy and fun to ride.

 

[Translationsneeded1]

5’10 and 14’2!
Feel a bit tall but not too heavy. Was a dream when I fell off though ?

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

I'm 5'4 and my fell is about 13.2, he takes up the leg very well

 

[Griffin]

I am 5'3" and my semi retired cob is 13.3. She was more than capable of carrying a taller adult in her younger years and they didn't look odd at all

 

[Chippers1]

I posted more pics on the connie thread but i'm 5 foot (just..) and my pony is 14hh. People think he's bigger because i'm so small on him

 

[Chippers1]

Oh and to add, my previous pony was 13hh and I didn't look out of place on him either..

 

[Northern]

I'm 5'6 and my Haffy is 14.2hh

 

[J_sarahd]

I’m 5ft 2 and my boy is 13.2hh. I do sometimes feel a bit big for him but my saddler and physio have both commented that I’m not. I was supposed to sell him, but got too attached. My next one will be at least 15hh, even if I will look like a pea

 

[Petmurf]

I’m 5ft 4 and my pony is 13.3hh

 

[southerncomfort]

5'3 and I have a 13/13.1hh Fell pony.

He could carry me all day long and, now he's filled out, takes up my leg really well.

 

[Fransurrey]

Until three years ago, I was riding a 12 hh Exmoor and I'm 5'4". Now ride a 15 hh cob, but I do miss riding a pony. Pony had a lot more stamina and went faster!

 

[Gloi]

I'm 5'4" and my current lad is 14h and I did have a bunch of Fell ponies in my teens to mid 30s and none of these ever felt small.
My main ride for 20+ years until I got my latest pony was a 13h Icelandic who I admit always felt like there wasn't much in front of you but he was tough as old boots and never tired even doing things like the Lady Towneley Loop. In his nearly 30 years the only lameness he ever had was from fighting and from standing on a nail.

 

[Tarragon]

I am another who rides Exmoor ponies, between 12.3hh and 13hh. I am 5"5' and between 9 stone and 9.5 stones. I love my ponies! Fun, versatile, hardy, challenging and so, so rewarding!

 

[Wishfilly]

I'm 5'4'', my pony is about 14hh, and I definitely don't feel too big. I much prefer riding ponies!

 

[Labaire]

I am 5'5, my Fell is 13.3h.
