It is an interesting topic of conversation. We've been talking about it in my contemporary issues equine degree program. So many people own horses because they are relatively cheap to buy nowadays but the ongoing cost of care is extensive and welfare is suffering as a result.
Hello - I've just bought these https://www.randrcountry.com/footwear/riding-boots/mountain-horse-sovereign-high-rider-boots--brown__472 in short narrow. I'm 5' 2" and petite. They fit perfectly and super comfortable. I tried Ariat as well as I love them, but even the short were too tall. Good luck!
