What do you think of ponies as pack animals. I have two arab-shetland crosses (12-2 and 13-1, 5 and 6 yo). The 12-2 is shorter legged and stocky, but she is unflappable. The 13-1 is very arabianish (3/4 arabian) and very athletic, with a good mind, too.
What would you think of using one of them as a pack animal.

Thanks. I think I'll work on getting that going. Both (but especially the 13.1) would love it, and there wouldn't be a need for him to carry much weight really. We still use our backpacking gear, so just some of the horse items - and just some more experience for them.
