I may have the opportunity to loan a 13.3 connie from a friend. He's a lovely chap, been a super schoolmaster to a number of children but is looking for a quieter life without jumping although he's still fit and looks fab for his age (early 20's). As you know I am in my 70's, love Rose as a competition horse and happy to hack out round our lanes in company with her, she's not great with big traffic but copes fine in company. she's strong to canter in the open and can have a buck and tbh i don't feel confident enough to use the great hacking we have pretty much on our doorstep to it's full advantage. I'm about 5'4" these days as I've shrunk, weigh 63KG and I'm one of those longer legs shorter torso sort of builds. I used to ride our 13.3 connie and I think I was rather heavier than I am now. When I had two rideable horses at home I had some lovely people who would come and ride out with me who became good friends and I miss that. so what do you think? I'm not too big or heavy for the pony am I? I'm thinking if I can find a more confident/capable rider than I am who could ride Rose then we could hack out together and have some fun. My daughter would have been perfect but sadly those days are long gone but I do miss them.
