Get DNA Stallion Test Kit Form - Pony Of The Americas Club - Poac

Can adults ride Shetland ponies? Absolutely, if they weigh less than a fifth the pony's weight. Shetland's are stocky things, so at a pinch someone weighing a quarter what the pony does wouldn't do any harm at least for short rides.

Our shows are uniquely family oriented: children and teens up to age 18 compete in all English and Western events, trail, games, and more; adults compete in halter, in-hand trail, longe line, and some 19 & Over classes; and parents help their 6-year-old and younger kids show in leadline classes.

That being said, I think anything 14.2hh or thereabouts is fine so long as the rider is light enough and doesn't look big on them. What gets me is people who are clearly huge on ponies weight wise - particularly young ponies aswell, and seeing them getting hammered into the ground by said overweight rider.

A small horse or pony is an ideal sized horse to give young kids a wonderful ride, even perhaps their very first horseback ride. The standard-sized quarter-horse, is ideally suited for riders weighing anywhere from 100 to 180 pounds.

POAC offers children, adults, and families an opportunity to be part of an organization that truly exemplifies good values while having fun and learning too! Let us show you how these magnificent ponies can enrich your lives.
