Argh, am I heck too big for him

[Tinkerbee]

Back me up here people...

Im 5ft (2? 3?) Im a short arse anyway lol

and weigh 7 1\2 stone

Galaxy is 13.2hh Welsh sec B

Some pillock on my mates bebo has said Im far to big for him

Pic...

when we first got him...Giraffe pony

Or you know...they could sod off

 

[CastleMouse]

You're not too big for him at all, tell the silly child to f*ck off...

 

[MistletoeMegan]

Long in the leg but not too big - you look like you'd weigh half of nothing dripping wet.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

He is more than up to carrying you. You look good together in the last pic, where he has filled out a bit.

 

[Ottinmeg]

ignore, my daughter uses bebo and has lots of photos of her horse on there and from comments ive seen left on her page it makes you wonder if these people actually know the front end of a horse from the back!

 

[B_2_B]

you look fine, don't listen

 

[Tinkerbee]

Cheers guys

one of the many reasons Ive abandoned bebo *rolls eyes*

did comment back though

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

try ignore it, its utter cobblers!

 

[Eccles]

Rubbish! You look really nice on him.

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Nope you are absoloutely fine

 

[Mid]

you look absolutely fine!

i think people's opininon of what is too big for a pony are shaped by buying. when you're buying a pony, you wouldn't get one exactly the right size because whoever the pony was for would grow out of it almost straight away! so people think that the size you'd buy at is the right size, even if it's not...

 

[Laafet]

Agree you look fine, your legs look ok to me as they are not round his knees as I've seen some people's recently and you look as if you weigh nothing. He looks really good in the last photo, just ignore those losers.

 

[xilovemyponyx]

awww nahh u look lovely on him x

 

[Pedantic]

Fine, dont worry.

 

[aimeerose]

Tell them to sod off - you look fine on him

 

[_April_]

He's a little sweety!!

Ignore them you look totally fine xx

 

[Haflinger]

I'm about 5'2ft and I regularly exercise a 12.2 for a woman at they yard - I'm not too big for him.
Tell the person where to go

 

[Minnies_Mum]

You look grand on him- I'm 5'7" and I'm riding a 13.2hh pony. Luckily she's quite a chunky, so she can carry me and she takes my leg up so they aren't dangling!

 

[Toyboyroxhissox]

ive got a 13hh(middle sig)
yes im leggy on him- but who really cares!!

you look fine!

 

[JustKickOn]

Tell them to eff off. You're leggy but he can carry you fine. He wouldn't jump if he couldn't!!!

Keep riding.

 

[Blizzard]

you look fine, you are just leggy!

 

[Tinkerbee]

First time in my life Ive been called leggy

 

[CastleMouse]

I'm 5ft4 and Castle was only 12.2hh... I hunted him regularly last season and even though I was far too big and rather heavy for him he seemed happy enough to carry me

 

[Daisychain]

If your happy then thats fine, he certainly isnt carrying to much weight with you on board.

 

[Hemirjtm]

omg your squishing that poor pony......

He would have you on the floor in a second if you were too big for him!!

Thats how i think about things....ponies are a lot stronger than people think....and they will soon tell you if your too heavy for them!! Then can drop their shoulder and you will be out the window before you can say ouch

 

[Tia]

Yes you look too tall for the pony.

No you are not too heavy for the pony.

Height is neither here nor there, it is weight which makes the difference.

 

[GinGin2]

clearly he can carry you, but you do look tall/leggy on him

 

[Cobland]

Im 5ft9 and i ride Mae that is now 14.1hh!!! Luckily shes a nice wide cob.

She carries me well, we both seem happy, I wouldnt listen to other people!!!

 

[Christmas_Kate]

Gah, I'm 5'5-5'6, weight more than you and will be exercising my son's 13.1hh pony....

 

[kerilli]

you're fine, you're very skinny and all leg anyway, he can carry you easily.
the fact is though that as you keep growing, you will need a bigger pony to take your leg up... if you've got long legs, riding ponies that are too short for you can really mess up your position. sorry, but it's true... hope it won't be soon though, he looks lovely.
