Hi I am new so be gentle !!

[pedilia]

I was delighted to find some like minded pony lovers !! I am currently looking for a pony and my husband keeps telling me I look silly, and i keep telling him it is how i feel and i am the one riding. I do have a 16.3hh TB gelding who i have just put out on loan, and a smuch as I love him I really want a pony.

It is great to see all the pics. :)

welcome to NR :D good luck with your pony search! i have a 13.3hh welsh section D, Bonnie (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/eventerbabe/scan0002.jpg) who i've had for 14 years now!!! i've also got a horse, toby (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/eventerbabe/scan.jpg) who's 15.2hh but its still fun to ride a pony now and again, they have such different characters IMO.

Hi, welcome to NR! Good luck with your pony search :)
Ignore your husband -all men want something about 17hh high that prances around and snorts a lot :rolleyes:
There are lots of people on here who ride ponies and it sounds like they have loads of fun!
We will expect you to post lots of piccies when you find something!

:D Hi welcome to the forum - it is great on here.

I have 13 hh Icelandic Nott who is retired as she has spavin but is off to stud soon. I also have lovely kind 14.1 Dolly Cob who is my new confidence giver and all round star.

Have a pony so much more fun - what do you have in mind? Little 'un like an Exmoor or Icelandic or bigger pony like a Welsh D or a New Forest or a Highland?

[notpoodle]

welcome :)

i have a 'little un' (12.3 exmoor) and eyewitnesses assure me i dont look silly on her :D im about 5'5 btw!

Thanks guys, i will post piccies as soon as i find something. We have travelled all over the country so far, why do people tell such lies when selling horses, it is so dishearting but i have faith i will find 'the one'

If i have done this right then Ginger my TB should appear.

Hi Welcome to New Rider!

I'm in Texas, and have a well-loved 14 hand buckskin named Jody.
ponies are cool-not as far to fall!

[Cheko]

Hello there, welcome to NR. I think you'll find we're all very friendly.I have a black Fell gelding called Falcon. At the moment, mainly ride in the school but now the fields are drying out, will be able to ride round the farm where I keep him.
Hope you enjoy this board. :p

[Esther.D]

Welcome to NR, I have Rupert who is a 13.1hh New Forest :)

[happy haffy]

Hi I have gone from 17.2 dressage to 15 hand teenage tearaway Haflinger and perfect gentleman 13.2 Icelandic. Don't regret it much more fun and more horse power per inch. Nothing bothers them apart from my not moving their electic fence to new grass quick enough.

[Stella2]

Hi, My preference is for a big horse, but I just wanted to say welcome to new rider :)

[NoviceNic]

Welcome to NR. I have the best of both worlds in Captain. He is 147.4cm (don't forget the 4mm) :p so if I am feeling confident he is a horse. Whereas if I fancy the pony clear round I go in that one. I like to think I am not cheating only just starting jumping though.

[mad mare1]

Hiya, I'm Emma, and I have a 14.2hh nutter called Crystal, she is a 19yr old chestnut Arab, and thinks nothing of haring up the field with me on her back trying, in vain, to stop her!!! I'm 5ft2, so you will be fine on a pony!!!!
