Advice needed please

Hi, with the nights drawing in I need to be able to exercise my daughters 12.3 Welsh sec C. I know I could lunge him, but we haven't got a school and wouldn't be popular if we churned up the field any more. The easiest option would be if I could ride him out for 1/2 hour.
I am 5'9" tall so I know I would look daft with long legs dangling, but I don't care, I weigh 10 st so would I be too heavy???????? I don't want to hurt his back.
Opinions welcomed

10 stone is nothing for a sec c, and as long as you are a balanced rider you will not hurt his back, so go for it!!

well I'm 9 1/2 (on a good day) and 5'6 and plan to ride my kids 12hh sec A.....natives are built to carry weight. As long as you don't go banging around in the saddle jumping I don[t see any worries.
Have fun!
