How heavy would a Pony be to lift?

Let's take Rarity for example, an average sized pony. Could a human gentleman carry her up a staircase as a newly wedded bride? Or would said human need to be a buff tank to lift her?

Now... if the pony is Princess Celestia.... forget about it. Too much cake for most men. The human lifting her would need to be someone like Eddie Hall to lift that big mama horse.

I would lift fluttershy everywhere because she would probably be light. Plus she would be soft and fluffy 😊

A regular pony yeah I think they could. Maybe even Twilight before she started looking like Celestia. But the princesses would be to heavy.

Might a similar same case with Rainbow. However, she may be heavier than Fluttershy due to her strength.

Could be cute for a story where big Twilight is upset that her human lover can no longer lift her like he used to.

Realistically? Ponies have denser bones and muscle than humans; and from what little evidence we have, FiM ponies apparently have similar volume to humans.

So with that in mind, the average pony would probably weigh more than the average human.

But I really like stories where ponies are light enough to be easily carried, so...

To answer this question specifically:

Let's take Rarity for example, an average sized pony. Could a human gentleman carry her up a staircase as a newly wedded bride?

A true gentleman would make sure he was strong enough to do so.

Yeah, that seems reasonable.

A true gentleman would make sure he was strong enough to do so.

Unless she is from a bendy universe.... then the pony will just get bigger if tries. XD

Yeah it could be. Then Twilight ends up using her magic to make her smaller so he can carry her.

There's still the question of relative size; if they're the size of cats (and love to cuddle) than being heavier by volume won't matter as much.

Would have to be temporary. I like Twi being big and thick.

The artstyle hides things, but it can be presumed that Fluttershy is built like a supermodel. Y'know, because of that time she was a supermodel.

I like them being the size of ponies. About four feet tall or so on average. Like 4.5 feet.

Well it would only be long enough to get her to the bed to make him feel strong and in control then she starts to grow as they make out then jeeps growing as they start to make love.

[Bendy]

Yeah. That would be very sexy and nice.

I agree.

Given that a quadrapedal form would allow for greater muscle mass, bone density and even body length, the average Equestrian mare could weigh 180-240 lbs, or about the same weight range for an average man. That's assuming that they stand around 3'6" at the whither. They could easily weigh more as both Rarity and Twilight were able to carry Tom the Boulder on their backs without out any assistance, and it's safe to assume that the boulder weighed at the minimum 2 tons, far greater than what even draft horses in our world can carry on their backs. I'd like to see stories where when ponies and humans get it on, the ponies have to be very gentle, have to use a special rig, or have to use spells or magical devices to prevent causing serious injuries.

That or they very powerful healing spells.

Ponies are almost never on top in bed if they that heavy. Sadly.

Everytime I see Princess Celestia and her proportions, I think "Horse".
At that point I'm using real world horse vs human for scale.

[SabreTheRedMane]

An average mare would be 300-450 kg, a stallion 400-500, Big Mac is probably around 600 and Troubleshoes Clyde is closer to 750.
Celestia is around 2x10^30 kg,
Luna is 7,35x10^22 kg.
But they bend laws of reality so it's OK.
Earth Ponies are heavier than Unicorns and Pegasi are the lightest of them all.

But if a stallion, not knowing that humans are frailer than them and does rough deepthroat, breaking the human's neck, I'm pretty sure that healing spells don't cure death.

[Bendy]

5592800
Yeah, okay. They would need to OP in some way then.

5592798
And that's why Celestia is the best pony. She's a horse.

5592799
Dang. They sound heavy.

[sykko]

That's at the minimum, roughly 661 lbs.

[sykko]

Here goes something to mull over. Let's assume that the world of Equestria has the same surface gravity as Earth, and Zecora, being a zebra, can look the average mare in the eye, and Celestia is three times the height of her subjects, either all average height of an Equestrian pony is the same height as a quarter horse, or all creatures are short.

I feel the need to correct your post for intellectual honesty:

blah blah beeg horse is 750 kg

Celestia is around 2000000000000000000000000000000 kg
Luna is around 73500000000000000000000 kg
But they bend reality so it's okay

Clearly a joke post, but I wouldn't be surprised if you looked up the actual weight of the sun and moon in order to make said joke more accurate.
