Hi all,
I have 2 mini shetlands about 8hh that I have started to back in the hope to driving them. Well theyve not even blinked at tack being put on and theres a few younger girls at my yard that can ride well enough to get them going as I'm obviously too big!
However, im wondering if theyre too big as well? But the issue is a tiny,young child isnt usually going to be a good enough rider to get them going and I know none children small enough that are good enough riders.
Theyre both stocky types and proper shetland types, just mini!
What weight is absolute max would you say to back them??
