Information
This is a simple calculator to determine your maximum allowed riding weight. Please be fair and measure your pony accurately.
Introduction
The recommended method of measurement is widely used in the UK by the Laminitis Trust and is more accurate than a weight tape.
First get the pony standing straight and level, then measure the heart girth (H) using a tape measure that runs tightly around the pony, lying at the base of the withers and as close to the front legs as possible.
Next, measure the length from the point of shoulder to the point of buttocks (L)
Remember that a pony that is under or over its ideal weight cannot carry as much weight as one that is fit. Referees will be looking out for this. When a pony is at ideal weight its ribs can easily be felt but cannot be seen when it is standing straight, but will possibly be seen when it turns.
For guidance, a rider may be considered too tall for their pony if, when standing by the pony, the rider's armpit is more than 10 cm above the pony’s withers.
