really?! 16hh?!!!

 

[missshell]

Yeah could be. The guy looks very tall.

 

[rosie fronfelen]

could be a very tall lad!

 

[jumpthemoon]

maybe the rider is 8ft tall???

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

ye but im tall (5ft11) and my boyfriend is 6ft 2, and we both ride 16hh horses, and neither of us make a horse look that small!
the guy must surely be about 6.6 to make it look that small?

 

[hellspells]

Could well be - I like it alot though!!

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

ye I think its pretty I just think it looks more 15hh range......

 

[stacey_lou]

er no! lol I wouls say about 14.2. Hes lankey though if it is!

 

[millitiger]

it could easily be 16hh- my 5yro is 16hh and i have long legs so can look lanky on her and i am only 5'9ft so if you put a 6'4ft man on her she would look tiny.

think WFP and Tamarillo...

 

[OneInAMillion]

yes
i think so anyway!!!

 

[eggs]

Could be although most people seem to overestimate the height of their horse.

On the other hand I have a couple of four year olds. Both have been measured and one is 16.3 and the other is 16.1. However if you saw a picture of me on both of them you would probably think there is well over a hand in height difference. Some horses just ride larger than others ...

 

[dopeesophee]

wilma must be big if hes 16hh

im going to measure her though, as im sure shes not 14.2

 

[megwan1]

i looked on his website and he's tall on everything! he's also got some very smart horses

 

[dopeesophee]

i looked on there too... he does look massive... i want to buy one

 

[cellie]

I think so my 16 h looks very similiar .Horse has long legs even though its short in body like my mare.

 

[Ziggy_]

Well, I'm 5'4'' and my mare is a smidgen over 16.2hh (measured recently) and this is how we look together (please excuse the awful pic!!) Amazing what a combination of long legs + narrow body + funny camera angle can do.

So yeah - I'd say that horse could easily be 16hh.

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

I'm 6'2 and Don is 16.2

so I'd say that fella is about 6'4" ...

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

ahh ok, I can see what people mean about funny angles etc..... so ye guess I can see it, although it may be 15.2/15.3 rather than bang on 16hh.........

But im so used to riding monsterous 17hhers now everything looks small!

 

[Munchkin]

Yeah, it does. My last horse was just short of 16.1hh and one of my trainers made him look about 14hh (he was 6'3.)

Besides, it's only a 4yo... probably still quite narrow and therefore not taking up a lot of leg.

 

[LadyRascasse]

i put my finger over the rider and i would say it looks more 15.2 than 16hh, but as its a 4yr old could be there estimate adult height?

 

[AmyMay]

I'd say it more than likely 16hh - the male rider is tall - and most men will make a 16hh look tiny.

 

[Boxers]

I'm liking that horse VERY much. He is a bigger version of my daughter's pony, Toby. We're often saying we would like a 'Toby' in 16.2hh !!!!

 

[MrsMozart]

My last horse was advertised at 16.1hh (to make 16.2hh - she was only three and a half). When she died she was 15.2hh on a good day. She was an IDxTB. I'm 5'8" and I looked a bit big on her.

 

[gekko]

This is Bill, one of our CBSH stallions.. he is getting close to 16.2hh ...You wouldn't think so would you?
Dont try to read too much into a photograph! I really wonder about some folks and what they "see" in a single moment of time with no knowledge of the circumstances....

Ohh...btw, Trent who's riding him in the pic IS not a long way short of 7'...and his own horse is a 14.3 QH stallion! He can put his foot down to corner! lol
