A mature beginner ( 62yr) vertically challenged ( 4' 10'' with short legs ). My question is what would be the ideal pony/horse size to be able to be balanced when learning to ride. I have been on a couple of short walks/trots and feel the horse/pony given for me to ride is chosen due to my inexperience. I feel that they are too broad and my hips initially feel as though they are being dislocated initially. Any thoughts from anyone would be welcome. I did a bit of riding in my teens but it was a question of gripping on with the legs and hoping for the best!
