Would I be too big?

[moodymare1987]

My friend is trying a 14.2 Welsh Section D on saturday, she has asked if I will hop on it for her to have a feel see what I think, Do you think I will be too big, Im 5ft10 and weigh ten stone, Would any of you lot have a problem with me riding your section d? I was thinking maybe I am too big but I dont know?

Weight wise, you will be fine, and you're only trying him for her. you'l be fine

 

[Eira]

No , id have no problem atall letting you on my sec d (if i had one

)

Think you'll look a bit tall but 10stone is only light so i would definately say you'll be fine to try it out for her

IMO nope - I am 10 stone and 5'7 and ride my 14'2, 24yr old Arab and I never feel too big or heavy. Although you will have longer legs, I wouldn't see it as a problem at all.

Your legs will probably be too long but who cares, your only trying him out... weight wise most D's would be able to carry a hell of alot more than 10 stone!!

Thanks for that everyone I was worried I would be too big, but Im not heavy, and I am well balanced.

 

[moodymare1987]

Aww thanks I think you should buy a section d for me to try

 

[Annette4]

You'll be fine

 

[BankEndRescue]

height wise you'll be very tall but weight wise there shouldn't be a problem at all

 

[VictoriaEDT]

I'm 5ft 8", 10 stone and my 14.2hh Sec D has to carry me around every day so I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[moodymare1987]

Thanks for the reassurance guys makes me feel better now

I'm 5ft 8 and 10st, my 15hh connemara manages to cart me everywhere so I shouldn't worry! Also, my friend who is 5ft 10 has a 14.2 cob.

Adults riding ponies is fun!
