Had a good hack today, (pony squishing)

[RubysGold]

My friend is starting her second year of her degree with horses, but hasn't had chance to ride all summer, so she came to ride Roo to get back into it a bit.
I rode another pony on the yard, a 14.2hh that I said I would help out with because he doesnt get much exercise. It's the second time I've ridden him, first time on a hack.
He was a little star.
Took this picture to show how big I am on him, bit of a pony squisher. I'm 6 foot and he's 14.2hh. Sorry its huge, and he's fighting me in the pic because I wanted him to stand still and he didn't want to.

Doesnt look like you are pony squishing to me

you do have long legs though and said horse does not take them up but i still do not think you look too big really, just my opinion

Thanks,
Weight wise I'm ok, only 10 stone. Just thought I'd look tall especially when my feet are underneath him lol.
He's a little sweetheart, kept trying to overtake Roo in canter

Yes you look very slim, your legs are quite long, but you dont look silly big at all

Grrr.....long legged skinny person alert!!

He may only be tiny but at least you can wrap your excessively long legs around him to hang on when he is being a tinker!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, not so much slinky.
First time I rode him I fell off within 10 minutes!
The owners asked me to jump him as they didn't know what he was like, but they said he has done some before.
So I just aimed him at a fence (looking back I realise it was a stupid thing to do) he went to refuse I kicked him on, he cat leaped and then just before I rebalanced he spun and ran.
I always hated being tall because I couldn't ride ponies, but now I'm just riding one anyway, and if I'm to believe all these comments, without looking stupid
