Well I think he's a bit under-horsed if you ask me..

 

[Inchy]

Lovely picture! Little monsters, my mini would love to have a friends small enough to do that with, instead she rears and boxes at my big horses!

It depends, does he 'ride light'? If top shetland is experienced, he will magically only weigh 50kg once mounted. However if he's a novice, he'll magically double in weight. And of course, you'll get a more honest answer from someone who'll make financial gain from one pony riding the other. Tbh though, pony hasn't collapsed to floor, which proves all horses are up to carrying 100% of their own weight.
