Is there a rule against a small adult riding a 13hh, stout draft pony in jumpers? I know it's not exceptable in the hunter/eq world, but how about jumping classes?
Jumpers have no real rules on size unless they specifically limit a class only to horses and not ponies, but never hurts to reread the rule book to verify this. There have been Olympic level jumpers and eventers that were only 14.1.
Classes limited to ponies are often also limited to junior riders, but I think if you show open, you should be fine.
The 17-hand warmblood crowd will probably look down their noses at you, but when you kick their butts in the timed jump off, it will be VERY satisfying!> :-) (Bwahahaha!)
nope,
just aslong as you dont push it over jumps that are simply to big
i've kicked peoples asses riding shetlands:)
if the horse can carry you with ease there is no issue just beacuse your legs dangle lower then its belly doesn't mean ****!
Adults may ride ponies in jumper shows. You can also ride ponies in eventing, dressage and most if not all western sports. It's only the hunters that restrict ponies to kids.
