Just wondered what you all think, do I look too tall?
Im definitely not too heavy for him, :)

(The answers wont change anything, hes not going anywhere :) But its interesting to know what people think about us with my height)

I know he is overbent in the pics, but hes just a baby and is still learning :)
 
I cannot see any reason what so ever you would think you look big on him..???

How tall are you and how big is he..? As you look absoulutly fine.
 
No, you can tell he is still young and that his body has to develop, widen and deepen! A year or so once filled out the picture will be very pleasing!
 
Like Armchair_Rider says - on the tall side, but not too tall and certainly not daft!

I'm also tall and slim and tend to look silly on smaller ponies, even if I'm not too heavy, which is a pain as I love small horses!
 
Thanks,
I feel great on him, hes perfect for me <3 I just sometimes worry when we go out in the trailer about what people may think. So, its nice to know we look ok :)
Im about 5'11/6foot and he is about 15.2hh (need to measure him as he may have grown again!)
 
You look tall but it's not like with a pony when your too big, once they're that size it's not really a problem unless you're rather fat haha
 
You look completely fine. The first pic he is all tucked in and looking small, whilst you are sitting tall! The other pics make you both look nicely in proportion to each other :)
 
Your legs come down quite a distance, some may see that as a positive as you should be able to really pick the horse up, but I can see why you're concerned .... Once he deepens in the body, you will look better :)

RG you look great on him in my opinion. I think you two are a good pairing and don't worry about what other people might think - it's all about just you and him enjoying your riding partnership together, that's what matters :)
 
You look great together. My daughter is 5ft 11 and she rides a 14.2 hh cob. That's the great thing about cobs - they take up your leg, so you never outgrow them.
