I don't really think of myself as an adult yet (

) but I'm 18 so I do count! Scoobers is 14.2hh and awesome.

I'm very heavy though, and if Scooby wasn't so chunky and sturdy I wouldn't dare get on him for fear of squishing him! I really wish I was small and light enough to ride a Connemara or a New Forest (two of my favourite breeds, such beautiful, talented ponies!) but even if I was slim, my ideal weight is 10 stone which is probably still too heavy for them. I'll stick to my lovely hairy coblet, I think!

I'm 6ft and 12 stone and only ever ride ponies now.
This is Smokey, highland (Erray Larkspur) he's 14.1 and everything I could wish for.

This is Forest, fell (Lowenthwaite Choirboy) about 13.3hh and although I do feel mean riding him sometimes he has no problem carrying me.

I'm 5'5.5", and the Spooky Pony is 14.1hh. I have a short back, so I don't think I look too terribly tall on him! I have to say, he moves so bl**dy fast when he wants to, that I often feel much safer on 17hh!

Having downsized through divorce to one remaining pony, I have to admit I don't want to go back to riding horses. My Little Pony - all 14.1 hairy cobbiness of her - gives me more fun than I ever had. She's been in the family since 1993, and knows she'll be with us forever.

I'm 5'9" and mostly leg, so we probably look a bit bizarre, but I just try not to trip her up.

Hardest thing to get used to is a pair of fluffy ears about 12" away from my face when my old horse's ears were so far away I couldn't reach them with my fingers unless I stretched up her neck.
