I love ponies. I have a Highland x who is 16.3, but thinks, rides and looks like a big pony.

Anybody object to me being an honorary adult who rides a pony?

How many other adults ride ponies and which types?

They a fantastic, clever, can get themselves out of trouble (mostly) dont need a lot to eat, cheeky and entertaining. They can turn their hooves to anything.
 
If you're being judged for suitability can I jump on this post and get OH and my sister judged too?

Tom is 16hh by Philip Pembroke out of a welsh pony mare

and he definitely thinks he's a pony (when he's not thinking he's human of course)!
 
I'm an adult (21) and have a 14.2 pba. I've had him for coming up to 9 years and he will never be sold (thus I will never be able to afford a horse!). I'm 5'9 and 9 1/2 stone but he is built like a true hunter pony and carries me fine. In an ideal world I'd have a horse as I'm on the tall side for him, but untill I win the lottery it won't happen, and I could never sell him - he is my horse (pony) of a lifetime!

Every adult should ride a pony, or a horse that feels like one IMO!

can I add to your list:

They a fantastic, <font color="red"> far too </font> clever <font color="red"> for their own good </font>, can get themselves out of trouble (mostly)<font color="red"> and in to trouble and you in to trouble </font> dont need a lot to eat <font color="red"> thought they beg to differ </font>, cheeky and entertaining <font color="red"> and damn infuriating at times </font>. They can turn their hooves to anything. <font color="red"> when they feel like it </font>
 
I'm 36 and have 5 ponies
smile.gif
I ride 3 of them (one doesn't get ridden cos of an old tendon injury
frown.gif
and one doesn't get ridden cos she is only 8hh
grin.gif
) The ones I ride are 14.1hh mini TB type, a 13.2hh New Forest pony and a 13hh Welsh/Haflinger type.
 
I'm an adult and I own/owned New Forest ponies. I absolutely adore them, they are fun, versatile and so willing. I wouldn't own another breed now I don't think, I enjoy ponies too much

I am a 5ft 8 adult and before I bought my warmblood I had a connemara on loan and have really only had natives! See my post above - horses are complicated!! I do miss a bit of old fashioned pony squishing

I have a 14.1 Mini Cob, he has a horses body and pony legs, he is so cool, totally reliable out hacking, can turn his hoof to most things, and can be a typical pony when he wants, but rides more like a horse. I love him and would never go back to anything bigger.
 
I agree with ester's additions to the list! I have a 15hh Welsh D (14.2hh when I bought her, so she'll always be a pony to me!) and I adore her to bits.
 
i also have a welsh, shes 14.2hh and this sums her up perfectly

I am 22, 5ft7 &amp; 9st.

I have a 13.1/13.2h ish mare (I measured her at 13.1h, but looking at her today I'm sure shes a little taller than that) who is 17, and absolutly fab!!!

I also have her daughter who will mature at about 14h/14.2h.

Here are my baby girls.

Littlest one, who is 18 months now

Although I might be a bit tall on her, it doesn't stop us doing this....

JoBo it might well be! My Gimley is like a tank
tongue.gif

Like driving a rolls royce

This is him today, he's living on fresh air, but still manages to be obese

He's still nippy though

Im hoping when he's clipped he might look um trimmer ?

I have a New Forest ( well, we have 3, one mine, one my daughter's and one sort of retired! )

I love riding mine, he is fun, sure footed, hardy, I dont need a ladder to get a rug on him, not so far to fall .....
grin.gif
 
lol, dont let him hear you say that JoBo
tongue.gif

Sprout, fingers crossed I haven't fallen off Gimley yet
blush.gif

He's been broken since beginning of summer, Ive only fallen off Bear twice in 3 years. And Buddie once in 8 years

Ive been pretty lucky I think!!
