Fabulous news!

I bet you're really excited? I know I am and the season is still 6 weeks away.

Can't help with the query though.

Have you decided where to go first?

 

[CastleMouse]

That's great Ellie!

My trainer wants me to do my first Intro in April and I have to say I'm really looking forward to it!

You are allowed to compete on ponies until the year of your 16th birthday

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No coubt I will be out at the novices and Intermediates grooming for YO and/or Tom

 

[hotellie]

i hate to say ( i may be wrong) but i think ponies have to be 142 cm...which might be 14hh but you could always add on and inch!!

 

[little_pink_piggies]

hehe

you've joined the dark side now...

see you out and about, perk's new owner is gonna do some intros and hes from your neck of the woods and theyve asked me to trundle along... and also shall be intermediating/novicing it

 

[little_pink_piggies]

shhhh its 140 now i think, and anyhow my pony wasn't, but nobody really questioned but i think i got away with it because he was fei accepted?

 

[SpottedCat]

Just realised I am using the 2008 rule book as a mousemat! That says ponies must be 142cm without shoes. Have no idea how that equates to 13.3.

 

[little_pink_piggies]

its 14hh

 

[hotellie]

i dont think they check up on it though...specially if ur doing just intros. just put on ur form 14hh or 142 cm.

 

[monica987]

Okay - well he was sold to me as 14... Hope we can

 

[MagicMelon]

Dont you have to have a LHC for ponies?!

 

[madgirl]

Thats really excitting will come and watch you! (as long as you come pointing

)

 

[rara007]

13.3 is 141cm....

Woo hoo, good luck!

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.
