You should be absolutely fine as long as the pony isn't a tiny, fine little thing. I'm 5'5 and my mare is 13.2 and build like a tank - she takes up my leg fine, and I certainly don't feel big on her!

I think it also depends on how much you way and how much weight the pony can carry.Native ae usually very good weight carriers.

Hands are what horses are measured in, there are 4 inches to a hand. :)

there are 4 inches to a hand. :)

ahhhh! I was wondering, so there are three Hands to a Foot :)

[hanbrad]

no mate a foot is 13 inchesd that would be 1 big horse lol

[hanbrad]

sorry my mistake 12 inches

[raingodz]

Yes, so if a foot is 12 inches and a hand is 4 inches and there are three fours in 12 then there must be 3 hands in a foot? - I did fail maths O level so I could be wrong :D !

I think this would make a 15HH pony 5 Foot...
