Weight loss, me not the horse.

I have lost a lot of weight and am currently 8st 4lb would i be able to ride a 13.2 welsh cob cross? Been way to heavy to contemplate such a small pony before.

I would say so, how much does the pony weigh roughly?

Chunky pony, not sure of weight. Current rider probably about 11st.

It needs to be healthy weight for the horse, and it must be well muscled with decent posture and then 20% of their weight to cover you, clothes and tack, is the maximum rule. 15% is better still and of course make sure the saddle makes you easy to carry (ie fits you properly). Sounds likely that you'd be fine.
