Seeking opinions really
I have a very green 11hh pony that would benefit from some schooling but no kids of my own and no kids experienced enough on yard
I tape measured her yesterday at 230kg, so if we apply the 20% rule that means 46kg is her working max
I'm starting to think the 20% rule is nonsense though as that would mean my big 17hh warmblood could take 140kg of rider and there's no way I'd put that on him
I'm 5ft 4 and about 10 stone but with a decentish core and balance, pony is not a chunky type, quite fine like an Arab
