web site

[notpoodle]

i'd like to do a website about adults who ride ponies :) but, although i am an adult, i currently lack my own pony and don't get to ride ponies at the moment :( (which is partly the reason why i'd like to start such a website: i'm sick of all these 'experts' telling people smaller horses/ponies are for kids and that adults shouldn't ride them).

and that's where you come in :D

any articles about the subject of adult + pony, pictures of you and your ponies/smaller horses (icelandics and exmoors in particular!!!), links to your websites and stuff. i will, of course, attribute the materials to you and link to your sites!!


cheers :)

Great idea

I too have the same problem and actually didn't rejoin my riding club this year because I was consistantly bullied about selling Maverick because he was useless and I am overage to ocmpete. Who cares if I am overage when I can only get to about 5 shows a year, none of which have age limits anyway!

I don't look too big for Maverick so were is the problem, its not as if he lets kids ride him anyway (as he showed me this year) so why can't I just keep him because its not as though its doing any harm to anyone.

Unntil I meet Maverick in the flesh I find it hard to see him as a pony at all, his pictures look like he's a middle weight hunter:D ;) ;)

What do you need, you can lift any pictures from out sites if you want, www.thordale.co.uk or www.geocities.com/tonkii2000/horses

Actually if he's 14hh you can represent a riding club, I think that only applies to jumping & cross country though as you can do dressage both affiliated & non-affiliated with a pony I have done this regularly.

Great website :D

Do you know anything about those cob classes where you leeave their feathers on and their mane full and natural?? Someone told me about them, i think they're called 'Traditional Cob' classes or something...:confused:

Sorry, you see apparently at 13.3hh he can't do anything, not even take part in SJ lessons because all the strides would be wrong.

when i'm older and have a horsebox, I'll travel to a riding clud that isn't prejudice :)
