We need a 'pea on a drum' cliché!
I'll start
Im 5ft2 7 1/2 st, and I ride a 18hh cob type eventer every week.

I have to ride her in a kimberwick, other wise she would canter round and round lol!
 
Good idea after last nights pony squishing extravaganza! I'm afraid I have no pea on a drum pics after being a pony squisher and all that but looking forward to seeing some :-)
 
Oh dear... I just went looking for my pea on a drum picture but I really don't look that little considering he is 17.1hh (on the right) !

And they're my gloves poking out from my body protector

Ok, he's not a giant at 16.3hh but boy does he ride big.
My sister (5'5) on Yogi for the first time. Her face was a picture!

Actually they appear to be pulling the same face!

i shouldve taken a photo of me when i got my 15.2hh, when i was 12, i was about 7.5 stone and 5.1ft, doesnt sound too bad but i ride very short so looked like a midget on top, now i dont look so bad that i have got fat

Over the summer holidays I worked at a yard helping with young horses and riding the managers own horses for more experience (best work experience ever!). I'm pushing it when I say I'm 5'2, and the horses I rode were all about 16.3, lol. My feet didn't go past the saddle flaps! I still had dressage lessons and went out on them- I loved it!
 
the summer before last i rode an 18.2 shirex for a friend of my dad - He just wanted him to hunt and couldnt be arsed schooling him!

Im 5'1. I looked bloody ridiculous!! getting on was always an issue! I had to be literally thrown on him by my dads mate everytime i went to ride because there was nothing on the yard big enough to use as a mounting block for me to get on!

Luckily for me he was a very sensible horse and never even attempted to tank off with me! I was totally over horsed!

I'll see if i can hunt out any pics!

I'm horse hunting atm and have set my upper limit to 16hh ish. No more gigantic monsters for me thanks!
 
I'm 5' 3"

I don't think that photo quite shows how short I am on her actually - this one:

Compared to my Mother on her:

My nephew (aged 3) on Genie who is 14.3hh. (Yes I know he hasn't got a hat on, there were none small enough for him and my Mum is on the steps holding him for the 2 seconds he was on there for!)
