yes i am still riding a 13.2 pony!
but hes a very good weight carrier so I don't have to worry about him not being able to carry me, someone recently told me i was far too big for him and should be riding a 15.3
but i think im fine riding him.
everyone else a similar age to me is riding 14.3-16.2
is there anyone else who still rides ickle ponies?
 
I’m 29 and still ride Badger the Fjord (so does my Mum), he is about 14hh-ish! Takes my weight easily! You ride whatever you are comfy with!

I've been riding my 11.1hh pony since I bought him 7 years ago xD yay for little ponehs!

And a woman who did dressage at the livery I'm on rode 2 shetlands the other week O.o At first me & a few other people thought she was a teenager who'd just kinda outgrown them a bit, then we realised xD I thought it was pretty awesome tbh, though I'd look a little too tall for most shetlands now, damn it!
 
I've got two exmoors, riding one of them (12hh), will possibly back the other one later this/next year. I'm 5'4" and shrinking (I swear I used to be 5'6"!!). At this rate I'll be riding miniatures by the age of 50. I do 'extreme hacking' i.e. following deer tracks through the forests, staying out for up to 5hrs (rare, these days, but it does happen!).
 
I'm 29 and my pony (in sig) is 14hh hafflinger pony.

We used to do everything although he is currently lame with a damaged tendon ATM

(caused by a kick in field, not by my riding!)

Pony rock. I think there are couple of 'pony squishing/adults who ride pony' groups on here
