Adults riding ponies? Am I daft to be considering this size?

I'm taller and have three ponies!! Can't post pics from my phone but have posted pictures in competition riders recently
 
Hopefully this one will work..... Me, 5'3" on 12.2hh Dave.

5ft 2 and have 3 ponies 12.2 Welsh B , 13.3 & 14.1 New Forests and I don't feel too big on any of them although admittedly the 12.2 does feel a tad too close to the ground and he is actually the only one that I cannot stop if he fancies buggering off............ I've never actually owned a horse, only ponies and it's never occurred to me to try anything different, over winter I had a little sit on my friends 16.3 and felt like I needed a parachute just in case..... so much easier to do stuff with ponies, I'd struggle to get a rug on anything over 15hh now I think :-)
 
I'm 5'3 and my horse is 16.3. If I'm honest I find daughters 15hh more fun.... not strictly a pony but at heart he is, he's awesome and so hassle free. Too strong at times but that's his only flaw. I love that ponies in general are tough little nuts and don't have as much drama as a horse.
 
you will be fine!

im 5'7 and school 12-13.2hh ponies! (i am only 7 stone 10 i hasten to add).

im actually looking at buying a 13.2hh if my current horse doesnt come right, a sec C so will take up my leg :)
