Screenshot the picture and crop it
or if you’re on IPhone:
Bring up your library and click on the 3 dots.
Choose options and either pick large or medium
Then choose your picture.

I feel really pleased looking at these.
I’m very tentatively keeping an eye out for a fun safe hack for me and want a bigger native or small sporty cob type, but being used to horses I was fearing looking like I might pony squish! I’m 5’6 so my lower limit I think will be 14.2hh but I’m hoping I can get away with it

I deleted my photo but lots taller than you and always felt ok on a full up 14.2. Width matters though; I'd rather have a wide 14.2 than narrow 15.2. But my legs really are daftly long.
Love a sports cob... You can't beat them for being horses that bring a smile to your face

Mine is 15hh and I'm 5' 4. I think I'm about the right size for him. It's not all about height though. There's also weight to think about. One of the downsides of riding something smaller is the comments and attitudes you get. Some people, often non-horsey, are downright sneery about it. I'm still recovering from a tall non-horsey friend meeting my horses and laughing her head off saying but these are tiny (all three are 14.3/15)!

@Marigold4 I'm sorry you've had that experience. I do think I must look silly like a big kid sometimes.

My pony wraps everyone around her fluffy hooves. She rides big you just hit the ground sooner than you expect getting off. She out walks and trots much bigger horses. I am often glad she's small when she's titting about.

Downsides is you end up doing all the difficult gates.

Oh how I wish to be 5'4! I'm 5'9 and have a 14.2 connie and he's never had any issues with my height and we've done all sorts over the years.
