Hahaha, yeah those show ponies can go for a LOT of money. That's actually a medium range asking price for a show pony that's "in the ribbons".
I suppose that my trainer assuming that I don't lke to ride full sized horses becuse I'm afraid of them is a fair assumption consdering I'm farirly new at the barn. I can ride them if I want, but anything over 16 hands, and I start to look like a jockey.

But I adore ponies, at least large ones, and since I stand about 5 feet tall, but not much more then that, I can ride large ponies and get away with it, which I like. I had a trainer who's about my height that did dressage with a large welsh cob. It worked for her.

You should stay with the smaller breeds, and to hell with what that trainer thinks. I think tiny people on huge horses look as odd as tall people on ponies. Horses and riders need to compliment each other.
