What size horse do you under 5'4" ride?

[legend22]

Produce 148cm ponies but compete all sizes. Have Grade A's between 15.3hh and 17.1hh....would rather jump the smaller or rather shorter striding ones first if I have horses in the same class. Would say I like about 16.0hh / 16.1hh best but also have loads of fun on the 15.0hh - you get the best of both Worlds on a pony horse!

 

[Velma]

5'2 and ride a 14.1

 

[CambridgeParamour]

I'm 5'2, and have a 15hand cobby, 16hand warmblood and a 17 hand warmblood.

I can easily ride friends 12.2/13.2's, and feel comfy on all 3 of mine

 

[Crackerz]

5'2'' and mine are 13.2hh, 13.3hh and 14hh (14hh now retired)

 

[MagicMo]

5'3" current horse is 17hh

 

[Rosiejazzandpia]

Im 5'1 and my mare is 15.2hh
Previous pony was 14hh

 

[poppet]

I'm 5' 3" and ride at RS and friends horses. Anything from 14.2 to 16.3. I ally don't mind but if I was to buy my own then would probably look about 15hh.

 

[twinkle]

I'm 4'11 and have 12.1 my first pony now retired and a 16.1 friesian and 16.2 tb and I don't think I look to small friesian and me in my pic

 

[thinkitwasjune]

I'm 5'1 and fairly light. My own two horses are 14.3hh and 15.3hh. I work on a yard and ride everything from 11.2hh to 17.2hh but prefer smaller horses/ponies

 

[Wiz201]

5 ft 4, feel comfortable on horses between 14-2 to 15hh, have sat on horses up to 15.3 but 14hh ponies have taken up my leg very well.

 

[kellybee]

5'4 and i have a 14.2, a 15hh and still ride a 13.2 when i get the chance - ponies are the funnest!! Last yr i was riding a 12.2 section c for a friend.

 

[nikCscott]

5'3 and mine is a fine 15.2hh TBx and I also ride my daughters' ponies at 11.2hh just to keep them working through the winter

 

[rara007]

5'4 and I have a 13.3 and a 17hh 5YO They're fab and I wouldn't change them but a 15.2 would be a more ideal match

 

[missdarcy]

I'm 5'1 and have a 16.2 sometimes I feel like a pea on a drum but i feel completely safe and trust her Also my sisters have a 11.2 pony which I occasionally ride!

 

[JustKickOn]

I'm 5'4" AND A HALF and ride a 16hh. Have ridden 17.3hh though, and felt like a petit poi on a very big drum!

 

[StarlightMagic]

5'2" and have a 16hh and still growing and a 14.1 geriatric pony! Have ridden a freinds 18hh shire but cant say i liked it much!

 

[silvershoes]

I'm 5ft and have a 16.1 warmblood

 

[sussex_sun]

I'm 5 '2" and ride quite a variety - but for me it really depends on the build rather than the height. For example I feel much more comfortable on a 16.2 ex-racer that I ride, than on the 15h cob I also sometimes ride.

Not only do my little legs feel more effective on a narrower type, but also more comfortable (getting old - it's me hips!!)

 

[Ikklecob]

I am 5ft. Last season I had a 12.3, before I had a 15h HW cob and have ridden a 17h hunter as well. As long as they are sane and I can climb aboard I don't mind giving them a try but 14h is about the right size for me.

 

[Megibo]

I'm 5ft 4 and ridden a range of height horses since being at college but my own horses are Welsh sec D's one 13.3 and 14.3

 

[neddymad]

I'm 5ft3 and ride my 12hh stocky Dartmoor and also have a rising 3yr Fell who will make about 13-13hh2.

Pocket roackets are the best

 

[neddymad]

Pocket Rockets I mean!

 

[little neddy]

I'm 5ft 1 1/4'' and I have two 17.2hh ID and a 16.3 Irish sports horse - gone for temperament and ability for the job ( hunting)

 

[Bright_Spark]

I'm 5'3" and ride a 15.2 TB and 15.3 ISH. Baby pony is 13hh cob type and I ride her too.

I prefer smaller horses to be honest, 15.3 actually feels too big!

 

[Frumpoon]

17.2 and nothing less!!!!! I jest but I do love big horses

 

[rachyblue]

I am 5'3" and have a 16hh and growing 3 yr old. But I do have very long legs for my height and look big on anything under 15.2hh that isn't built like a tank!

 

[Barney&Buzz]

I'm 5ft 1in, I ride a 14.1hh and a 15hh
