Photos of adults on ponies

[sabreig]

After reading about how self concious people get about riding ponies as an adult I though it would be a great confidence boost for us all to put photos of ourselves up riding our ponies. Perhaps we could put the hight of the pony, our own height and weight (if you are happy to) then perhaps people will look and see what us lot are doing and will boost everyone elses confidence. I don't have one of my pony yet as I' going to back her in a few weeks time but shall post one soon as. If it takes off perhaps it would be a good idea to put it as a sticky so it's always there for us to look back on when we need a confidence boost

Is Bryony only 13.3hh? She seems bigger than that! She's really pretty

Well there's a story behind that. I bought her as 14.2.....I measured her as 14.1...then someone had the height measuring stick out and she measured in at 13.3. Another horse was measured and then height life measured a few weeks later and came in at 0.1 smaller than our stick, so technically she COULD be 13.2. I am confident the stick is ok as another horse was measured at his definate height with the stick.

Bearing in mind that Bry has had her shoes taken off during these process's.

Wally....I like Bryony to, she's a character alright and one in a million.

 

[Marmite]

So shes a pony pretending to be a horse then She really is gorgeous, you're lucky to have her *wishes she had a horse *
