I'm 5ft4, don't know how much I weigh at the moment but I take a size 8.

G is 16.3hh and a medium build Dutch Warmblood. Can be a lot of horse to hold together at times but we don't have many problems.

(Excuse my language, but I had to say that)
 
I'm 5' 9/10"

My old horse is 15.1 TBX-I'v had him for 13 years and done everything with him.
Current horses are 16.3 TB and 15 cob (he is as wide as tall)
Previous horse was 17.3 m/w-I felt most comfortable on him.
 
I am 5'7, my gelding is 14.2 anglo arab lw, my mare is 14.0 welsh D mw ??

ETA this is them, the two nearest. I know she's fat, I'd just bought her that day

Im 5'8 and currently riding a 13hh connx. Usually ride anything from 14.2hh-16.2hh, though I ahd a 4yo 17.1hh dressage bred horse last year to back and bring on.
 
5'8"ish (5'9" when I first get up and before weight of world has squished me) with some orang-utan in my ancestry ie: long arms and legs, dumpy body.

Main ride is 15.1 v-e-r-y wide hw cob so no leg length issues.

I still hack oldie - 15.3 'knife blade' arab. Now look a bit under horsed on him (he's rising 33 and boney so I look a bit leggy) but we've been together a long time and we get along fine.

Also have 16.2 mw irish mare but she's busy being a mum so not working. Think we're a perfect fit though.

No-one can say I'm a one-type-horse girl!

I am 5'3, 8 and a half stone, fairly slim and I ride a 14.2 WBxTB who looks like horse with little legs

The only downside is that, because I also look a little young too, people think I am a teenager when I am actually 27!
 
Im 5"2 and have a 16.2hh full TB on loan

Thought he was big for me at the start but feels normal now, especially as he fairly fine (with a tummy). Wish I was taller (rather than him being smaller) so I could reach the floor playing horseball!
 
5'11 and my mare is 16.2 wb, my gelding is 17h cbxtb. Feel best on 17-17.2.
I did have an 18.3 bavarian wb and after him a 16.2 felt like a games pony

5'6, have a 14hh and 14.2hh mw, but love backing and re-schooling, which has ended up with me getting on a 10hh shetland (although wouldnt normally ride anything that small, usually 11.2 is the smallest) with tallest being 18.2hh so far, of all different shapes and sizes
 
I'm 5'7.5 and size 8. I don't own my own horse, but whenever I ride at a stables, I always request something around 15hh. When I rode in Ireland recently, they gave me a 14hh chunky cob, which was *perfect*.
 
I am 5ft 10 (mostly leg... I have a 35inch inside leg), 11 stone and ride a 16.3 mare. She is a great size for me.

The other day I rode a 15.3 and felt way to big for him. It was hard to wrap my leg around him with out my feet touching!!
 
I'm 5'5 and my horse is a 16hh tbx. He's quite compact and about the size I'm comfortable with - I probably wouldn't buy anything over 16.2.
