Riding a shetland?

I have an 11hh shetland who is 14 years old and broken in everything. He hasn’t been ridden in 7 years though. I am roughly 5’2 and weigh around 90 pounds. Elvis is perfectly in shape and healthy, but has asthma. Would it be okay if I were to go for about 15 minute rides on him daily?

Also I would bit be using a saddle, I’ve been riding for years and I’m well balanced

OK, you’ve started 3 threads here and your horse is changing size between them and so is your weight a bit. And your discipline, too, from jumpers to western.

Stick with one thread and engage with that line of discussion. What are you hoping, that we will give you different advice on different threads or something?

Everybody on here tends to see all the threads that get started, if we go in via Today’s Posts. It seems a bit weird for you to be asking the same question but altering details in repeated threads on the same topic. Just saying…
