Hey guys, over the march break two girls from my barn that are very light weight decided to start riding the minis! Lady Di is the brown one, and the white one is Camilla. They decided that they are going to take them to a show this summer:lol: It's going to be hilarious!
Here's some pics -
The minis are cute, but the girls do look kinda big for them, their
legs look like their practically touching the ground. Cute pictures
though, minis are adorable.
Thats SO cute!
In Mounted Games (the english version), I think it is if you way less than 117 you can ride a pony 13.2 and under-miniatures and donkeys are also allowed lol.... Ill have to brush up on my rulebooks for the numbers though. There is a mini at my new barn that my younger brother is in love with. Hes only 45 lbs. and I told him he could probably ride the mini, Midnight, lol.
Excactly my thoughts. Those girls are way to big to be riding those poor minis. On top of that those minis look young and very small, they shouldn't be ridden by even a very small child.
I don't think theres nothing wrong with riding the minis, but they
definitely need to be little kids...not preteen girls no matter how light
weight they are said to be, like I said their legs are practically touching
the ground and the brown one looks very displeased!
The other members and I are not trying to give you hell, but we care for
the welfare of the ponies in general.
^ It's ok! It kinda got me thinking. Those girls are 10 & 11, the one on the brown pony has a waist probably the size of my thigh but I have no idea how much she weighs. I can't imagine her waying more than 60, seeing as I can hold her above my head lol. The other girl is 10 and really small as well, lol people think she is in grade one. These minis are pretty short but they are fat so they weight alot, but it still might be hard on their backs. I'm going to go make sure they arn't too heavy for them this weekend, lol.
Yeah i agree with the above posts. It does inclued your weight and the saddle so just think about that. The saddle is proabably 6-10 pounds and you the girls look to be about 50-70pounds, so that is quite alot for a mini to put up with. 40 pounds max should be what a mini carrys.
That's so cute. ^-^
I wish I was small enough to ride mini's
But due to being 5'8" and averageish built I can't! :P
Good luck with the ponies. ^-^ Adorable.
