Mounted Games

Is 5.8ft to tall to do mounted games?

I don't think so, MGA is adults

If it's a child, they have pony size / person weight ranges you have to fit into, height is not an issue.
If it's an adult, go for it!

Would I look to tall because 14.2 is the max height

Half the kids I see at top level mounted gains seem too tall for their horses, but the horses and riders are always skinny and athletic and look fine for the sport. I think you'll look just right on a 14.2, assuming your weight is ok too.

Tbh most kids I see doing mounted games feet almost touch the ground … being tall is a distinct advantage

I just think I might look to tall

They all look too tall- it’s the MGA look!

Makes it a lot easier to vault on. My friend's eldest granddaughter is on the local PC team and she is 12 and tall and skinny on a 12.2 and am so jealous as she hops on the pony as it is cantering.
