Would this pony be too small for me?

You look only just the right size on the 15.1 horse, just about right, but I am afraid you would be too big for the smaller one by a long shot, not just in terms of aesthetics, ie how you look on the pony but that pony has to balance herself with your height. And your saddle should not be used on the little pony. It will not fit, she needs her own.

I am not so concerned by weight, though of course she would need a light weight saddle, and one of her own size, but having to balance everything on top of her she is going to struggle and possibly suffer from muscle strain as she is very slight.

I know that the pony is free, but I would not take it. Founder can recur and this will have expensive consequences in terms of vet fees, specialist shoeing etc (even if it is cheap on feed!)

you may get ponies as small at 7-8 palms.. are you meaning smallest top yet journey-in a position? if so then something around 14 palms. that must be the smallest you could go by way of fact you're in all possibility to advance. attempt finding an inch greater than you generally could by way of fact you could consistently substitute into the pony.

Yes, you are too big and too heavy. If your feet are that close to the ground it could be quite risky and your leg aids will be useless.

If someone offered me a free pony I would take it in a flash though, maybe you could do inhand showing, long reining, driving or other non-mounted stuff with her? You don't always have to be in the saddle.

At the very least you could train her up and find her a nice home or something.

You would look a bit funny on her. If you intend to show her or compete on her in anything with her then yes you are too tall for her, if she would just be for a light every now and again ride then no.

If you ride her and put the western saddle on her then yes you could cause her pain.

I personally wouldn't risk taking her on at all for riding.. you are too tall so she probably would struggle with your weight

This "pony" does not even look like a pony. It looks like a large pony or even a horse around 14-15 hands high. My pony is 12.2 hands high and she is certainly smaller than that. Not to be rude at all, but did you measure the horses properly, do you even know how to? If you don't or need to look once more, just look it up on YouTube or Google.

I would defiantly get this pony if you can handle it and actually want to work with it. If not, then let it go and keep your horse. Why is this pony free anyways?

yes i think so, but it doesn't mean she won't make a good pony. You could always get someone else to ride her for you. Take no notice of the christ something or other, no one in their right minds would ever willingly sell a horse for meat. Your other horse is really pretty by the way :)

Yes you are to big to show the pony. But if the pony's only going to be ridden briefly than no. But it's up to you, if you feel big, than don't buy the pony. Take video of you on the pony and see what you think.

It is not so much your height but your weight. Far to heavy with a western saddle for that mare. She might be stocky but she is also very long in the back which makes her weak.

You are too tall for this pony. Adding to that you said that she has sensitive hooves so that would be a risk factor if you were to ride her.

Yes, you are just way to big for that pony. If yo showed in my arena than i would probably disqualify you. you need a horse now. You could maybe train a pony for a kid, but no more than that.
