Question

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w4FV_okQq6g&feature=related

Is this girl to big for the mini? I found it on youtube!? If you think so can you please comment on this video! thx!

Answer 1

she is way to big for that mini, and she could potentially cause serious damage to its legs by all the extra weight

Answer 2

oh my god. she even said she was training it?! im gonna comment this page on the video. shes so stupid! how is she training it?! thats considered animal abuse.

Answer 3

Yh! I reckon she's to big but the pony doesn't seem to be rearing so i guess he is used to it.

Answer 4

as was stated above,

it's not your horse, and to be honest the horse looks like he's enjoying himself. those little buggers are rather strong, believe it or not.

my opinion:

yes she's much too big.

but i wont lie,

i ride the mini horses at my camp once in a while.

as long as it's not a daily occurance,

the pony should be fine!

Answer 5

of course shes to big!

that is soooo cruel, dont know how you can do such thing, its almost as bad as hhorse slaughter, thumbs up if you agree!

Answer 6

yes she is, what an idiot

Answer 7

YES WAY

ALL MINI'S SEEM 2 B NAUGHTY 4 PPL THT R 2 BIG 4 EM

.......WONDER WHY ?!!!!!!

Answer 8

That's called animal abuse.

Answer 9

She is big and could cause damage to his back. At least she wasn't on there for to long!

Answer 10

I think you already know the answer to your question.

Answer 11

If she thinks she is training it, I would report her. I used to own Mini's and they are not meant to be ridden. Other than just a pet, if anything they should be trained to pull carts, and more than one Mini to even do that. I will guarantee you she does not have a trainers license.

Answer 12

way to big

Answer 13

I'd rather not watch something so pathetic.  Thanks anyway.

Answer 14

Yeah! WAAAYY too big. She should sell the pony to a four year old. Most likely, the only reason why it bucks is because she weighs more than it does!!! It would probably do much better with a small child.

Answer 15

she is... but.

MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS! thats not your horse, its not abuse.. get over it.

its not abuse because, theres no law saying you cannot ride a mini. abuse is when you beat your horse, dont feed, or give it proper needs.. honestly... build a bridge and get over it. Dreamer - its not animal abuse. tell me, am i a animal abuser because my old barrel horse has bad arthiritis now? no.

and since when do you have to have a license to train your horse? my god. thats not your horse, dont worry about it. and i've seen plenty of mini's ridden before.

Answer 16

Bloody stupid child!

Answer 17

It appears to be a mini shetland.  They are very strong and can carry over 100 lbs easily...they can pull twice their own weight.  This isn't abuse.  The pony has no bit in it's mouth, and the riders are not too heavy.  It may not be the smartest way to act with a pony, but save your concerns for the real abuses going on in the world.

Answer 18

Yes she is too big for that mini.  BUT, it is not me or my horse, so it doesn't apply to me.  It isn't abuse because the horse has proper care.  When I showed I saw a full grown woman jumping a horse that small, so it isn't as bad as some of you are saying.

Answer 19

Some people just have no brains.

Yes, she's too big for the mini.

Answer 20

Yes she is to big for mini

Answer 21

Yes she is tooo big.

She's stupid.

Answer 22

ok... its kinda complicated - weight wise - no - many years ago they used shetland ponies to carry grown men around the mines from tunnel to tunnel - these were called pitponies.

Shetlands are extremely strong animals and their size often deceive people!!

BUT - having said that - there is no longer a need for these ponies to be subjected to stupid carry on like this girl is doing - shes far to big for the pony heightwise, and even though he was capable of carrying her - its quite pointless and stupid

Answer 23

Too tall, but really light - so not a welfare problem. They are as strong as oxen and bred to carry men. It's always difficult to find proper jockeys as they are strong and feisty and not temperamentally designed to be kids' ponies.

Answer 24

yes. too big in size but NOT in weight. these ponies can be ridden whatever their size and only at 4 years old when they are almost fully grown.

this pony looked as if he was having great fun.

better than being looked at as an ornament.

good luck to the pair of them. she probably gets more hurt than the pony.

Answer 25

ERRRRRRRRRR!
