When I bought my pony last October I knew I wanted a young project but was ideally looking for a 14.2 so I could train it up loan it in 3 years when I went to uni and then ride it at weekends, holidays and after uni however I fell in love with a 3 year old 13.2 (just!) and after 8 months of hard work she's everything I wanted as she's lovely and gentle, her jumping is brilliant and we're registering her for BSJA for this last half of the year however i'm being advised to sell her this winter and get a new bigger bigger project (I'm 5'6 and just under 8 stone so although i'm a bit tall I don't think i'm actually to heavy for her but I love ponies) I do think a 14.2-15hh horse/pony would be a better height for me and understand that she'd probably go further with a younger and smaller rider but I can't bear the thought of selling her and feel that after all the work we've done together I can't just abandon her now she's doing everything perfectly (I know i'm being sentimental) Advice please!

The pony sounds perfectly capable of carrying you. Dont listen to other people and keep her if you enjoy her. she sounds brill! its very hard to find that special horse - sounds like you already have yours.
 
Who is advising you to sell her?

If she is doing everything thing you want her to and doing it well (and it sounds as though she is if you are going to register her) then I would keep her. If you are thinking of getting another if you think you are outgrowing her height wise then can you afford to buy another and put her out on loan maybe?

Not much help I know but things to think about. good luck
 
Thanks to you both, i think really I will end up keeping her as I can't bear to let her go and i've not actually grown for about 2 years (My mum also stopped growing quite young) so I don't think i'll get any bigger but I suppose if I suddenly got even taller I would have to think carefully about it.
Thanks for your help it's just nice to have some reassurance that i'm not mad to keep her!
