Maximum weight for a NF pony

[gerbera]

Hi, can anyone advise roughly the max weight a New Forest pony can carry, she is 14hh and is quite chunky in build?

I am thinking of buying her with a view to my friend riding her a couple of time a week but she weighs 10 stone, is she too heavy?

Thanks

10 stone should be fine for a pony of that size and type.

christ no!

Good lord no, she's waaaay within that pony's limit. My boy is a chunky 14hh and I bought him weighing 10 and a half stone, he has leather tack (so heavier than a wintec) ive put on a bit of weight since then and he still bombs around perfectly happily

Great, that's made me feel better! Thanks everyone

Definately not too heavy. I have a full up 14.2 NF, at my heaviest (more than 12stone) he's carried me fine. Pics will be required and more info should you buy her!

Mine is 14hh and Im 9st 12, but he carried me (and chucked me off!) just fine when i was 10st 7lb.

I have 13h NF and was 10st last time I weighed myself (possibly a bit less now).
