yes, 12 x 12 is fine (measure it though, lots of people claim they're that big but they're not). is he the sort to get cast easily though (i.e. daft, with no idea of his size?) if so, bigger might be better... although some people think they can be worse in bigger stables as they roll more energetically and are more likely to try to flip over, and get cast!

a 12 x 12 is minimum size for a horse over 16 hh.
as Kerilli said, measure it yourself just to check.
I am lucky, my 16.3 is in a 20 x 15 stable

i recently moved from a 14 x 12 to a 12 x 12 stable. The 12 x 12 is sufficient, but it makes quite a bit of difference where you put water and hay. I have them along 1 side of the stable, so I've then essentially lost 2' on 1 side. when she's eating her hay I can only just squeeze round her bum. The stable is in a better "location" but apart from that would have stayed in the bigger stable.
