My friend wants to enter but her pony is 13.3 and a third ( if anyone could put that into cm that would be great) anyone know if thats an ok size or too small?

thanks xx

This is what thistle posted last night so jope it is right, however I am calling BE tomorrow to check.



'Ponies don't need a measurement unless going FEI.

I have seen some barely 13.2 out there, remember though that the tracks are built on a horse stride, so your pony will either have to have a long stride or be nippy and get 2 in.

If you were to measure him when his feet need trimming he would be taller!

You can ride a pony at any age.

The u16 rule is just for FEI too.'
 
As long as you put his height as the minimum on the membership forms you should be OK, BUT you MUST be fair to your pony and NOT overface him. You should be doing well at PC Intermediate.
