Noooo! That's my crazy shettie! Just to prove that it doesn't matter how big the pony is.....she can easily carry my weight and then some! She takes off with me!
LOL, just noticed you can see my other foot underneath
You see, that's what you can do with a properly built shetland! I used to jump her when she was younger, and knock the jumps with my feet. She is quite scary to ride, she only has 2 speeds, stop and GOOOOO!!! She's definitely NOT a child's pony!!
Luckily she has hard feet and she's never done any hard work, only in hand showing and loose schooling and walks etc. I think she realised early on that if she was a nutter she wouldn't have to do any work as no child would go near her
