Example: Your pony weighs 600 pounds, 23% of 600 equals 138 pounds. You and your tack weigh 130 pounds all together. So you and your tack are light enough for your pony to carry.

Can humans ride magical ponies?

It would depend on the size of the human vs. the size of the pony. If the human is too small, and the pony is too large, you could still ride it but getting on its magical horseback would prove quite a task. Alternately, if the human is too large, and the pony is too small, there is a very small chance that you could break the poor pony's magical legs and/or magical back. If the sizes are just right, then you're in luck! Now, you can go and ride your magical pony away to the magical land of gum drops and cotten candy !

How much weight can 12hh horse carry?

A pony this size needs a small rider. A weight of 50 to 80 lbs would be ideal. Depending on the build and health of the pony may also factor into his weight limit. Remember too, if a child starts to outgrow his pony he can always be trained to pull a cart. A 12hh pony can easily pull a cart and full grown person. Warning:If your pony has never been trained to drive don't try to do this yourself. This can be dangerous if you don't know how to train.


What age can you ride a miniature horse?

True miniature horses hould never be ridden, their bones are too small and delicate to hold heavy weights. Miniatures can however pull nearly twice their own weight and are best used for pulling small light carts with one or two adults as passengers. If you want a small pony to ride, look for a traditional Shetland pony which is far stronger and more suitable for riding ,especially by children. Also keep in mind that no horse or pony should ever carry more than 20% of it's own bodyweight on it's back, this amount included rider and tack weights combined.
