The  ponies are 44" long, chest to rump, the carriage pole was set at 68".
Do  you think we need a to make the pole longer?  They are 11.1 hands  tall.
We had the carriage pole, which is a fixed pole set at 33 1/2".   Is this too
high for them?  How far in front of the chests should the  pole be?   The
carriage is my Jeff Day Marathon.

I drive a  pair of 43" mares to this carriage and the pole is set for them
only the  height of the pole is 31 1/2".

Any helpful ideas on where to proceed  next?  Thanks Bettyann Seablade>>
Go to the CAA website.  They have a great chart with  all the measurements 
that you would ever need for all size animals, for shafts  and poles.
