what size pony is suitable

[horselover0988]

Hello
I am 13 years old and i was wondering what size horse/pony would be suitable for me. i am 5ft1 and 7 stone. i am wanting to jump to about 4ft, I would also be doing a few hacks. if you could suggest what height would be suitable i would be really grateful.
thanks in advance

I am 5ft8 and fit a 15hh, so I would think around 14hh?

If you are looking for a jumping pony rather than a cobby type I would suggest something between 14hh and 15hh, but it really depends on how deep their girth is as to whether they take up your leg.

My thirteen year old daughter rides a 13.1hh cobby type, a 15.2hh Connemara X TB and a 16hh Anglo X and looks a nice size on them all.

At your age I'd try to stick with a pony, around 14 - 14.2hh. Children's competition classes are usually for pony's only.
