Sorry guys I have to vent I am soo po'd right now! I just saw pics on facebook of a colt I sold which was sold again to a local girl now she is about 11 yrs old and he is 3 yrs old he stands roughly 31 inches tall and she is RIDING HIM!!!!!!! she has to hold her feet up off of the ground!!!!!!!! And people are apparently telling her this is ok!!!! I had the option to buy him back when he came back up for sale but I was in no position to buy him back:( I wish people would grab a clue! I wish they would've bought her a pony that was an appropriate size and had agood attitude. I wish she had knowlegeable help! I don't know these people personally but I know some of their help RANT rant rant 552227 I feel so bad for my colt who I brought into this world. On a plus note he looks healthy enough from what you can see in the pic.

I don't get why people think it is okay to ride minis. They were bred for pulling a cart, period. I see ads on kijiji from time to time for minis that are "broke to saddle" or "saddle for mini". Can you ask the person you sold him to to tell her it's not okay to ride a mini?

I doubt it would help because the people she knows are telling her it's ok! I don't think it's bad to let small kids ride a mini eg a kid that weighs 20-30lbs but an 11ish yr old good god people use your heads!!!!!

I thought at one time I had read that they should never be ridden. Just looked it up on the AMHA website and they state that riders under 70 lbs are okay. But if the average weight for minis is 150-250 lbs, a 70 lb rider seems like a lot to me.

Obviously this girl is much bigger than that if her feet are touching the ground. People need to use some common sense. I used to try to ride my german shepherd when I was a kid. It probably looks about the same.

Hmm... I was always told 35-50lbs at the most... Either way we don't even put Brittany on our smaller guys because she is 35lbs and seems like a bit much (they're around the 31-32 inch mark).

You are absolutely right when you say they're meant for driving and they are strong as can be from the pulling angle of things but not built to handle the weight on their back/joints...

I hope someone pips up and defends the poor little guy... Miniatures are so kind too the little guy likely takes it and keeps on trucking.
