One for me one for my hubby, me being 5.6 and my hubby being 6.7 sharing isn't the best option
Currently we're at 11. It started rationally enough; one for me, a companion, a couple of FTGH's for the children, but as the children grew, I planned for the future by acquiring a couple of colts which would make 14hh; then another couple. I told myself that we would sell the smaller ponies as they were outgrown, but who was I kidding?
What now happens, is that in addition to ponies, we have acquired a little social club of rider/sharer/friends. Instead of riding age/height appropriate ponies, we all swap and change, which is proving to be very good for riders and ponies alike. The only rule is that we kick the kids off the Shetland when their feet drag on the floor.
What will I do when the kids leave home? Well, I've started training some of them to drive as pairs, working up to a team. Who knows, perhaps one day I'll have to exercise them by hitching the whole lot to a little coach, and driving to the pub. ... because I can...

Sounds absolutely brilliant! Two questions...
1. what is an FTGH?
2. Will you adopt me ?
