Lol, thankyou

She is very pretty

There is no way I would of guessed at 16.2, my friends horse is 16.1 and I can just about kiss he top of his bum and I'm 5 6"
grin.gif
I would of said she was 14.2 ish as well. Lucky you being so tall and with such long legs
laugh.gif
 
Thanks

Its a bit of a burden, cant find many johds to fit (well actually cant find any
tongue.gif
, i just wear long socks to hide the fact they flap round my calves
wink.gif
Show jackets are a bit of nightmare too, as they never seem to fit in the arm...

I have extremely long legs (need at least 34" inside leg trousers and 36" if I want to wear heels. Harry Hall and Caldene both do long lengths on some of their styles, these fit me nicely (and the knee patches are actually at my knees not on the inside of my thighs). But long boots hide too short jodhs anyway! I also have another pair of long jodhs I got randomly off ebay, think they are Saddle Master ones.
 
I think she would do well in a hack class, she appears to have a lot of arab in her which is usual in hack classes. Either that or riding horse, she would be a large riding horse because of her height

Sheesh, I thought she was about 14hh

Although I accept she is a bit bigger than that, lol, I'm afraid I'm with Mrs M, and am struggling to believe she is 16.2. My mother is a tiny bit shorter than you and my bigger girl is spot on 16.2. No way are their proportions together anywhere near what your are in the photos above. I should think it's worth putting a measuring stick to her. Lots of horses are described and sold as inaccurate heights.

She's a very lovely looking horse though

I agree with the suggestion of "riding horse" and don't think that LW hunter is totally out the question.
 
Can sometimes be a little tricky to find them, but I know Ride Away stock the longer lengths. Some good tack shops will stock them or may be able to order them for you if you ask. You can also be lucky on ebay too - I have had 2 pairs from there.
 
I would have said that she looks littler than 16.2 - but TBH I think that it is that you have very long legs, and you are wearing joddy boots - I think this combination just looks pony - its so typically what you will see with that sort of length of leg wrapped around the pony! She most definitely has a "show pony" stamp to her, and a pretty head

I would say riding horse probably - she looks like a really nice sort though xx
 
Another one who thought she was a pony here

I think she'd do nicely as a hack, riding horse or riding club horse. That last pic of her in particular is lovely
laugh.gif
 
She looks a nice sort and will agree with the comments of others! Thought the same about her height, my boy is 17hh and im 5ft10/11 and we look like this...(ignore my dumb looking face)

If she's 16.2 then she'll measure 5'6 at her withers so there should only be 4" of you above that ie from about your nose up!!!

She looks much smaller than that in the picture.

That show looks familiar... yet I dunno how, I've hardly been to any shows recently! xD

I'd also go for riding horse...
though what I know about showing honestly isn't worth toffee, I'd only do equitation out of all the 'show' classes!
laugh.gif
 
Want to know what I think? You have 'measured out'! That pic has to be the most deceptive one I have ever seen and would have said a tall, 'showing-type' teen's last season on a 14hander
blush.gif
I am calling for an official re-measure of you both!

Im afraid i am another person who cannot believe your mare is 16.2. Here is a pic of my mare a month or so before her 3rd birthday. She stood at just over 16hands at that point and i am 5'6''. As you can see she towers above me.

Perhaps you have grown lots since you last got measured??!!
grin.gif
 
I think you need to sack your measuring stick, comparing the photo of you standing with other tall people standing by their 16.2hh you must be at least 6'4"!!
I think she looks about 15hh maybe 15.2hh if you are 5'10"
 
I also thought pony. I think there's 2 reasons

1) your kit and long slim legs and her build just scream 'slightly outgrown show-pony' - you see tons of pics just like this in H&H on pony classes - but I've never seen anyone look lke that in an adult class. Although you are young, if you want to do a class like hack or riding horse, you need to start looking the part as well as her. :-)

2)that 1st photo must be deceptive - the scale of you against the others is really weird. That is quite a small pony just behind you (about 12hh?) but your girl only looks a couple hands taller.
