    Miniature horses cannot be ridden. But they can pull a cart/carriage just fine. They are sooooooooo adorable!!

    Miniature horses can pull small one-person carriages, but that’s pretty much the extent of it.

    I think you’re too big. They should only be ridden by small kids.
    I used to train and show miniature horses and I only let my little sister (she was about 5 years old) sit on them.
    They pulled buggies though, you could have one pull a buggy but I wouldn’t ride it.

    no minature horses cant be ridden but ponies can up to about 100 lbs and horses can be ridden at mostly any weight.

    While perhaps a two year old could be put on the back of a larger mini for a few minutes and walked around, no mini horse is large enough to be ridden, end of story. You would need a large pony or full-size horse to ride.

    I have a 2′ tall horse that I ride all the time, and I weigh 200 lbs. Of course, he’s been on steroids for 5 years.

    A Mini horse should for your size be about 12 hh ( 4 inches X hh size ) at the withers , and around 500 lb .
    Never try to start riding a horse under the age of 2 as there knees are still growing and you can hurt them . Some breeds of horses like Arabians should be started under saddle around 4-5 , as they grow slower.
    Get a pony , a Welsh or Quarter pony they sell them for $20-500 at our local action house in Turlock Ca .

    Sorry, but you probably need a pony or bigger horse. Miniature horses can pull cart, participate in competitions, and be ridden by small kids, but should not carry more than about 50 pounds.
