What height are you and what size of horse do you ride?

[Rachel_M]

As is it says on the tin

What height are you and what size/build/height is the main horse you ride?

 

[bex1984]

I'm 5ft5, and my pony is 14.1hh, and built like a tank. I used to have a 15.2hh cob, but always felt he was too big for me.

 

[hadfos]

I am 5ft 71/2 and my lad is a 16.3 mediumweight TB

 

[jesterfaerie]

I am 5ft2.
I don't have a main horse that I ride really, my two are a 15.2 slim TB and a 13.1 pony (he is medium build when he is fit but at the moment he is unfit and huge!)
At uni the horses I ride are generally medium build and around the 16hh mark.

 

[Super_Kat]

I'm 5'7", 11 stone and medium build (I'm not not thin & I'm not fat!) and my main horses are a 16.3hh M/W ISH and a 17.1hh Dutch WB.

 

[maddielove]

I am a weakling...no flesh on my bones.
I am 5ft 8 and 8 stone.
I ride a chunky 15.1hh welsh cob cross anglo arab. She looks strong but thank god she isn't (snaffle mouthed)

 

[lilpinkdonkey4]

Im 5ft3 and i ride a 15.3/16hh lightweight TBXWB (more TBish). Id say i was Med build... not skinny mini i have a sizable thigh!

 

[Foxford]

I am 5'10" and the bigger the horse the better!

I feel most comfortable on 17.1hh. I dont't tend to ride anything under 15.2hh as I look like a freak! And I wouldn't buy a horse under 16hh.

 

[frannieuk]

I'm about 5'9, size 10 and ride a 16.1hh MW mare. When I ride in my dressage saddle my feet come to a smidgen under her belly, but otherwise she takes my leg well.
Last horse was 16.3ish but generally I prefer them a bit smaller!

 

[Apalacia01]

I'm 5'4, about 9 stone and the pony is 14.2hh MW! I think she is the perfect size as I don't like big!

 

[Dottie]

5'4'' and my pony is 13.3hh

 

[Daisychain]

I am 5ft 7 nearly! 10half stone. ride 16.2hh chunky T.B.

 

[benji12]

I am 5'4 and 8 stone and I ride a 15.1hh TBX

 

[RachelB]

I'm 5'5" and petite, and I have ridden everything from 13hh to 18.2hh. I prefer bigger, chunkier horses though and when I am horse shopping later this year I won't be looking at anything under 15.3hh. I can't stand ponies (sorry pony-lovers!

)
Forgot to say, my horse is a middleweight 15.3hh ID x (saddler is convinced she's 16.3hh...)

 

[Folara]

Im 5'2" and a lard-arse. I ride a 16.3hh medium/heavy weight who I have had from a foal. We get on well even if I do need a ladder to get on.

Personally give me a good sized horse anyday - id probably squish anything else!

 

[Twizzel]

5ft4 and ride anything between 14.2hh and 18.2hh

 

[Joya]

I'm 5ft 5 and ride (Well, when she's not poorly lol) a TB build 15.2 but do feel too big for her.

 

[kirstyhen]

Im six foot, and 11 stone. Pony is 16.3hh part shire. If i ride dressage length my leg is well past the end of his belly!

 

[PickledOnions]

I'm 5ft2 and ride a 15hh cob type

 

[jumpthemoon]

I'm 5'8" and about 9 1/2 stone. My horses are 16.2 WB (quite chunky - he looks bigger) and a 15.1 TB (very spindly). I do look too big for my TB but I only do a bit of light hacking with her so I don't care. She's more of a rescue case and she loves hacking out

I'm less than a stone above her racing weight and she doesn't seem to struggle carrying me, so I just get on with it.

 

[sugarnspice]

5 foot 7 1/2 and ride a chunky monkey 14,2

.

[Henbug]

5 foot 7 and my pony is 14.2 lw cob (bareback my feet nearly touch his knees) but i also regularly ride a 16.3 WB. However have been riding anything from 13hh to 18.2hh

 

[Quarrybank]

I'm 6' and Q is a 16.2hh m/w Irish sports horse ID x TB & Spider is a 16.3hh TB x WB.
I wouldn't want to ride anything under 16.2hh by choice.

 

[Ottinmeg]

[Zoobie]

I am 5ft, weigh 8 stone and horse is 18hh

 

[Apalacia01]

Yikes! Thats a lot of horse for a little person!

 

[Santa_Claus]

I'm 5ft7 at best guess about 9.5 stone (no clue as don't own set of scales but size 10 so slim enough!) and ride a 17h2 and a 15h3 always fun when going from one to the other, although both are wide saddle wise even though Fleur never looks it!
