he weighes about 350-400 pounds and i was wondering how much he could hold. the minis i work with carry little kids around on trails all day and we rode one of them bare back today who was small like 200 pounds how much do you thinkmy mini can hold?
Answers:
Minis are quite small but very strong for their size, meaning they can pull a decent amount of weight. However, because of their size it is not a good idea for a person over--I would say around 50 pounds to ride a mini, as it may be too heavy for them to acheive a lot work with the person weighing them down and it probably isn't too good for their backs either.
Well, as you know, mini's are only suppose to be ridden by small children. If it's 200 lbs. then i would say it might be able to carry a max of 225. Glad I could help!
There ment for small kids only
i rode a Shetland pony for a friends to train him when i was 13 but i was only 105 pounds but if i was any bigger i would have been to heavy
it isn't quite the weight that hurts them it is the weight and ahveing to work wiht you on his back so just be mindfull
Uh, excuse me, but minis should NEVER ridden, by ANYONE, not even toddlers! Miniature horses can be used to PULL small carts, but that's it. Due to their small size, minis ARE NOT FOR RIDING! If you want to ride, get a Shetland pony or a full-sized horse. You would be doing harm to the mini; if I lived where you are, I would report you for cruelty to animals.
Minis shouldn't carry anyone except maybe a two year old. They are capable of pulling an adult but they should NOT have ANY weight on their backs. A pony is OK but minis are built differently.
Minis should never be ridden...they are not designed to be ridden and you can do alot of damage to their body by letting even children ride them. They can pull carts...teach them to drive. Ponies can be ridden, but not minis...why do you think there are no under saddle classes for minis...
minis are ment to pull not ride...shetlands are ment to ride
General rule on mini's is that they can hold up to 40 lbs. And if a child close to 40 lbs is riding a mini they are not to be ridden long. Maybe once around a circle.They are only ment for young children to ride. But more so they were bred to pull small carts, and to be cute.
