Been done before im sure, but..

[Blazingkate]

I'm 5ft3 and Carling's 15hh hands, although he maybe 15.1hh now, I need to measure him! I've been told I look tiny on him because he's quite chunky and muscley, but to be fair I think I look alright and its probably because the girl who had him before me is 5ft10... bit of a difference lol.

 

[Theresa_F]

1/4" under 5'. Cairo is 16.3 and Chancer (at the moment) about 14.3 but still growing.

Only problem I have is getting back on without a wall

 

[maddielove]

i'm 5ft 7 and a bit..although i've gorown since i last got measured.

maddie's 15.2
i rode for the first time in ages without stirrups and i felt HUGE! i could barley get her to move..
on the holiday i was on i rode a 16.3 and he was wonderful! when i came back maddie felt like a wee shetland!
i prefer little ponies tbh..there alot nicer to sit to in canter i say

 

[Gingernags]

See now my mare is awkward, she is officially 14.3 AND A HALF!

Well, OK I put 15hh and I'm 5'6"

 

[miamibear]

My horse it 16.1hh and im 5'11.

Im paranoid about my height but he is a chunky boy and i know he can carry me. Even if my legs do look stupid.

I had a bad experience with my last horse who was 17.1hh and i wouldnt go back to that height - shame really.

Anyway im soooooooo happy with Red i wouldnt change him for the world!

[Emma123]

[Dogbetty141]

im 5ft 3 and my gg is 16.1hh

 

[helenandshadow]

I'm 5'3'' and shadow is 14.2hh

 

[4whitesocks]

I'm 6ft & Sid's 16hh....he's v compact & has quite a deep 'barrel' though so you'd expect me to look big on him but I don't (honest!!) Really wanted something bigger but couldn't find anything that matched his fab nature & general cheekiness

 

[KateStartin]

Im 5'9" ish and ride everything from 14hh (chunky!) to 17.2hh but feel most comfy on my own 16.2 mw warmblood

 

[Quarrybank]

I'm 6' and my boys are 16.2hh (ISH so quite chunky) & 16.3hh (4yo who I think will grow a bit more)

 

[Enfys]

5.1" (and a little bit) 4 ponies from 13.2 - 15.1. Can't get on anything taller without a hoist

 

[Nic]

I'm 5'7/8 & D is 16.3

 

[AmyMay]

I'm 5ft 3". Amymay is just under 15hh - fit her perfectly. Loan horse is 17hh, other regular rides are 16.3 and 18hh respectively. Not having ridden Amy for a year and a half now, must admit to referring to the 16.3 as the 'little' horse....

 

[sojeph]

I'm 5'7" and my main riding cobbie is 15.2hh ish.

 

[Christmas_Kate]

I'm 5'5 and can easily get away with riding a 13.2hh. I feel sick on anything bigger than 14.2hh. I'm scared of heights lol.

 

[Fiona_C]

I'm 5'10 - Bud is 16hh and Mickey is 12.2hh

 

[PapaFrita]

I'm 5'8" and PF is 15.2, Antifaz is about 16hh I think (although until I measured him I was sure he was much bigger than madam!)

 

[Kelly1982]

I'm roughly 5'6 and my horse is 17hh. She is quite petite though so she doesn't look too big for me.

 

[JessPickle]

I am 5ft 6 and have pickle a 17.1hh !!!

Sounds mad but I share him with my dad who is 6ft 3 so I dont have much choice I really dont find it a problem. He is chunky but I am quite leggy

 

[darksided]

I'm 5'2" and I don't have a horse but my favourite would be around the 16.3hh mark but I ride anything between 14hh and 17.1hh at the riding school

 

[teapot]

5ft11 and ride anything from 13.2 to 17.2

 

[Twinkle Twinkle]

l am 4ft11 and my pony is 13.3

 

[jewel]

5ft2 and jenson is 14.2hh

 

[Seahorse]

I'm 5ft 3 and my horse is 16 hands

 

[Helenabbey]

I have my pony, a 14.2 chunky old fashioned type hackney, and a 15hh Welsh Cob. I am 5'8 and they take up my leg fine, I look big on the pony but I got him when i was 14 and didnt want to part with him so 11 years later I still have him.

I could have bought something bigger than my 15hh youngster but feel happier on smaller ones, am happier with striding for SJ etc and plus he doesnt eat (therefore cost) as much as a big big one!

 

[Nuttymanxmare]

5'7 and the horse is 16.3

 

[Becky101]

I'm 5"2 (just!!), and my lad is full up 15.3

 

[Weezy]

5'10 and a half (I just measured myself LOL) - horses range from 15-1hh to 18hh - If they can take my leg, I will ride them!

 

[PoppyPony]

5'7, 15hh chunky cob
