Guess the height!

[Reacher]

Glad she is what you bought (not that the numbers matter.)

I have same dilemma with my Mr H - also sold as 15hh. Tried to measure him with a stick not long after he arrived and he panicked so I haven’t tried since. I’d be a bit bummed if he measured less (remind myself the numbers don’t matter!!)

Want to play the game with mine? I don’t have a very good photo for guessing - I’m 5’3”

 

[CouldItBe]

I was going to say 14.1 1/2 same as my mare who is like a grey version of her

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I would say 15h

He's about the same height compared to you as Blue is to me, so I'd say around 15.1hh.

I’d be happy with 15hh. He looks big in that photo but when I’m stood next to him he seems smaller.
He’s my big lad regardless!

14.3 ½hh ?

You were on the money! ?

 

[Cloball]

Yas! bob on ?

I did something similar - my cob was sold to me as 15.1 and I ‘knew’ he was smaller than that when I bought him so when I measured him I was shocked to find that he was actually ....... 15.1 exactly!

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

I've just measured my two on the stick..
Rex is 16.1
Rocket is 15.1 ish, he wouldn't stand still ??

 

[Lois Lame]

I bought a pony some years back who I was told was 14.1

He looked smaller due to his high withers, but he would have been 14.1

blue is supposedly 15.1 but he’s a good 2 inches taller than my friends 15.2. I keep meaning to measure him

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

I measured mine the other day-15.2, just. Always thought he was 15.1, he was 14.2 when I got him but grew quite quickly. Seems very small compared to the 17.2 warmblood I had before him!

I thought from a photo you’ve posted he was huge!

Charlie was sold to me as 16.1. I suspected he was bigger and I think he's grown even just in the 3 months I've had him. We did a crude measuring job on him at the weekend with a whip and a tape measure as I don't have a stick. That put him at 16.2. It put my friend's horse, who we know is 16.2 at 16.1 so I've added an inch and I'll call him 16.3 for now. The string test suggested he'll be 17hh. He's 6 but has a lot of ID in him so a late bloomer.

He’s a heavy weight cob if you go by the bone, but only 15.2. There’s a similar cob at the yard who is one inch higher on the stick but he is massive compared to mine. In this show, you can see me, I’m 5ft9.

Mine says 15.1hh in his passport - but when the nutritionist came out this week to weigh him, we stuck a stick on him after and it turns out he's just over 15.3hh. I'm very happy with that, I always thought he was bigger.

Blue is just lovely.
