You look fine. I am a similar height and build to you and my horse is 15 hh. A few people have said I look too tall on him, but he carries me fine and I wouldn't swap him for anything.

 

[helen75]

You look fine!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VioletStripe]

Goodness you're tall!! I'm the same age and only 5 4!!

And nahh, you look fine!! xx

 

[welshied]

You look fine what does it matter

 

[marmalade76]

You look fine on the black, but whoever it is on Nutmeg is far too big!

 

[ShowJumperBeckii]

[Denise657]

You look fine to me. =) well done at the show

 

[Tinseltoes]

You look fine!!! My daughter is 12 and about 5ft 5 (taller than me) and she rides a 15hh cob.

 

[ellasmith]

Youn look fine - im 15 years old, 5"10 and have a heavy frame and my previous horse a 15.3hh welsh carried me fine.

 

[Sirreal]

You do look big on her, but probably not too big?
I'm 16, 5'2", and around 7 stone and just got a 15.3hh 4 year old ISH

Sorry to hijack the thread, but do I look all right on him? .....

I came off ponies end of last year, but never really rode anything as big as him regularly....

 

[maletto]

you look fine to me

 

[Divasmum]

You are fine.

 

[hamish1]

You both look fine and have stunning horses

 

[rangerover]

That is going to be a nice horse when it is mature. Does it move straight?

 

[Sirreal]

Yep He is working in an outline for his old owner (not for me yet though ) and has done some small jumping classes at shows. He's really good at jumping but I was going to do some dressage competitions on him when I actually learn to ride him properly :L and then maybe eventing

 

[brighteyes]

No, not too big and if you get Ebony going as well as that little pony goes, you'll do OK. I wouldn't be doing any jumping on Ebony 'til the flatwork is better and you are more of a pair. Nice to see you patting Nutmeg after 'elimination' (?) Take it steady, please, as that is a very nice little pony indeed. More work needed at home, again, I think, but a positive indication of his natural ability. I like them both.

 

[Sparkles]

Ditto what Brighteyes said

ClaireP - Gorgious horse! I think you look fine. He looks a lovely sort! [out of curiousity, what's the bump on his leg from?] What do you plan on doing with him this year?
