I try to keep them occupied LOL. Not sure tho who is more smitten over the pony Zack or me! Geez I should have looked at that pic a little closer, wow I look wonderful with my wet hair slicked back, no makeup on and in chore clothes. Cricket is doing great, getting her acclimated to grass, today she was able to get out on the pasture with the goats and she loved it. (In the pic I posted there was a fence between them). She is so easy to catch and is so sweet to handle. Not bad for a FREE pony! Question? I'd love to train this pony to ride as well as drive. Cricket is 11.1 1/2 Hands, do you think she can hold my weight 145 for training her with a light english saddle. The lady I got her from was probably 20 pounds lighter than me and rode her a few times with a much heavier western saddle and said she did great. Opinions?

You can do a lot of training with long lines and ground driving in a round pen without getting on her.
I would try to find a teenager with a lot of horse showing experience to get on her. Maybe one who is around 112-114lbs.
