[trendybraincell]

I'm just about 5'5 and The Welsh Cob is 15hh

 

[FestiveSpirit]

I'm 5'2" so just out of your criteria but thought I would post some pics for a giggle...

On my last horse (16.3hh Selle Francais eventer)

On my present horse (15.2hh TB)

I have also had a 17.1hh TB, a 14.3h Section D, and a 15.2hh Irish Sports Horse (who was really a lightweight cob)

 

[birdof1977]

I now have a 15.1, (passported 14.3, but measures bigger now) arab, who has a fairly wide back.

I used to ride a 13h welsh x

And this is me on a riding school horse last year. He was 16.2

OOoo I forgot to say. I am 5'3.

 

[Eaglestone]

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

[lilym]

[CorvusCorax]

Whatever I get told to, have ridden dinky ponies to 17.2hh and everything in between. Not always well, mind you

 

[Jonesy]

I'm just shy of 5'4" and ride a 16hh tb x warmblood. No pics I'm afraid!!!

 

[wildwoman666]

i am 5,4 and ride a anglo arab 15.2 horse in pic click on it to make it bigger pic..

 

[Sol]

Me: 5'4 (aprox. maybe just under...)

Dante - (in dressage saddle, makes me ride like the lanky thing I am xD)

Oatie - *I squish pony*

(not my pony, was taken on work experience on my phone... hence its awfulness and the fact that the saddle was... weird )

 

[Mithras]

I'm out of your criteria too at 5 feet 1, but I own and ride a 17hh and 16.1. Although I could probably get away with riding a very small pony too...

 

[ester]

5'5 and 14.2

 

[natalia]

5"3 bang on and 8 1/2 stone.
I ride anything from 12.2hh to about 16.2hh, I'm happy to sit on something bigger as long as its well schooled but find I struggle to educate a baby giant horse due to my leg length. My ideal height is abut 15.3hh- 16hh and that's what I'm most comfortable on. I used to like schooling little ponies but now just feel like there's nothing underneath me! My current horses are 15.2hh, 15.3hh and just over 16hh (but built like a tank!)

 

[Annette4]

[Eventer96]

Well I just miss out on your criteria, I am 5'2 and about 8 stone.


Here is my main ride: Titan- 17.0hh dutch warmblood

Excuse the stupidly long stirrups

I also have the ride of a 14.2hh connie ponio...

I also ride a 15.1hh Thoroughbred, sorry don't have any pics handy x

Merry Crimbo to all!

 

[maxapple]

I'm just 5'5 I think and just under 8 1/2 st ..

My pony is 14.1 (just)

I've just started riding my friends 16.2 fresian for her which is normally much bigger than I'm used to but feel fine on her.

 

[vickybrennan]

I am slightly out of your criteria too (at 5ft 1in). I have always had quite big horses - the biggest was just short of 18hh - but I had trouble steering as my legs had too little effect

My current "project" is 16.3hh and I think I could have a similar problem

. I don't buy them as "big" - I buy them as youngsters - praps I feed them too well

My smallest horse (and current fav horse) which will stay with me for ever is 15.1 and is pictured below.

 

[quirky]

5 ft 5, on a 14.3HH ..... no pics of me riding her ... must get some taken!!

 

[SaffronWelshDragon]

5'5ish and around 7.5 stone so a bit of a rake. I ride my 14.3hh Welsh Cob:

 

[Selkie]

5'4 ride a 14.2-3 (passport says 15 but she's not that big)

 

[brighteyes]

Me on my 13.2

He's a very full up Reg Welsh Section B

 

[loz9]

im 5'3'' & ride both my 15.3tbx & 14.1nfx but also used to ride a 17.2idxtb (sadly he was pts on christmas eve RIP) who i did look a bit stupid on but he was a saint!

 

[TelH]

I am 5ft4 and have 5 ponies. 3 of them are ridden, 13hh Haflinger/Welsh B/C type, 13.2hh reg New Forest pony, 14.1hh mini TB type. I also have a 13.1hh NF x Exmoor, she used to be ridden but not any more cos of a tendon injury, and then there is my mini Shet who I don't ride for obvious reasons

 

[jcberry]

pep is just below 15hh

 

[Puppy]

I'm 5'3", and my horses are

Beans, just over 16hh, but she was smaller when I bought her!

And Star, 16.2hh, (I only answered the ad because the magazine misprinted her height!

)

I wouldn't like anything bigger than Star, but equally anything much under 16hh feels tiny to me. I've never really been into little horses, much as I loved and miss my 14.2
