Default what weight can ponies pull?
I'm asking as I'd like little bean to have a pony - section A or similar. Could they also be used as a driving pony, and if so could they manage 2 adults in a cart/trap etc?

A mini shetland can pull one adult a standard 2 adults. Guessing section A could manage 2 aswell as long as they aren't huge.

They can pull alot more than they can carry!
There is a formula you can use to work it out (google will probably give it to you )
My friends section A has taken herself and her *large* dad in a 4 wheel cross country cart

Harmony (13.2hh NF) has carried 3 adults and 2 children for an hour with no trouble in the same 4 wheel cart!

Stan has pulled 4 people all hanging onto his leadrope for quite a distance, without him even noticing they were there. He could probably pull a house no problem.

Magic is exactly the same! He's had several people hanging on while he trots off to the nearest patch of grass
