Height of pony classes

[Irishcobs]

Watching Pony of the year and theses ponies are jumping huge! any one know what height they are?
There is the 128cm, 138cm and 148cm classes.

The heights for the RDS here are -
128cms - 1.10m
138cms - 1.20m
148cms - 1.30m
I'd say they're the same as the POYS though.

I have competed at POYS a few times, I did the 148cm JA class in 2004 and it scared me to death!!! LOL I could walk under the jumps and so could my pony!!! I think the 128cm's are most impressive as their rider's are soo tiny!!! I can't remember ever being that small!! I think the youngest rider this year was Pippa Allen's sister who was only 5 and her pony was only 11.2hh!!! She just held onto its mane and it seemed to know it's way round!!! I think it was PA's sister?? Can't remember, they did announce it!!!

Milllie has been competing since she was about 6yo (think she's 8/9yo now but not very tall). We were at a junior BSJA show recently and I overheard one mother tell another that little "Chelsea" was at her first "away show" and she was just turned 6yo! That said, our youngest looks like he'll be a bit like that too - but maybe not if his section A has anything to do with it!

128cm ponies are well bl**dy capable to jump a course bigger than that tbh!
