Who can ride a miniture pony

Question

kids riding miniture ponies?

Not sure what do do but have daughter in laws kids riding them . I think it is a kind of abuse the kids weigh at least 50 to 60 lbs but it just disturbs me

Answer 1

As long as the pony is in good health, they should be great to ride. There's actually a barn near me that has a ton of miniature horses and gives lessons, and they have even gone to nationals. Don't worry, I'm sure it's fine :)

Answer 2

I'm not sure about miniture horses, but I know a shetland can actually carry a fully grown man.

Isnt that amazing?!  

Answer 3

Supposedly, a person weighing 100lbs or less can ride a mini.  Now, I would say that is the larger size mini, not those really small ones.

A friend of mine has a larger mini (he's actually about 2 inches too tall to show).  Her vet set that weight limit for him.
