5' 9" and own three: 15.1h, 15h and 14.2h - but she has a massive barrel and I actually need longer stirrups on her than on the other two.

The grand height of 5'2" :rolleyes:

Harvey is a 15.2hh Welsh Cob which i think is ideal size.

I have ridden bigger horses but for everyday handling i wouldnt want anything too much bigger.

14.2 & 5'10! But most people think she's a hand bigger, and I'm relatively light. I'm all legs & she's a conniex so most people don't realise my legs are below her belly bareback! With jumping stirrups can look ok on a well built 13.2. Prefer 17.2 but had her since I was 12 (long time ago) & can only afford one each for me & daughter
