would i look too small?

[only_me]

I am just under 5f7, and the horse is pushing 17.2

Didnt get a chance to measure horse.

Is a hunter ish type of horse

Nooo you'd look fine unless it is the shape of a small elephant

umm I am 5ft 2 and ride a 17.1 apparently i dont look too small!!

I dont think so. I had a go on a 17.2 and felt so so high up but when I got back on my 16.2, I felt like my feet were going to touch the floor. He felt tiny and Im 5' 7 too. Friend said I looked good on the bigger horse.

im 5ft 3 and i have a 17hh

you will be fine!

 

[Queenjude]

No you wouldn't. I'm 5ft 6 and ride a 17.2hh and he more than enough takes up my leg!

I'm 5ft7 and ride a 17.3hh german warmblood (part elephant

) and I don't look too small at all. But I do struggle with holding him up together as he is alot of horse.

i'm 5'4" and apparently looked tiny on a 17.2 and minute on an 18hh but another 17hhish that i used to ride i looked ok on cos he just had long legs. i think it depends on the build of the horse and rider. tbh most people i've seen on hunter types look small and at 5'7 i think you'll look normal

im 5'6 and ride a 17hh horse. Think lot has to do with build and nature of the horse. My one is quite compact and lot easier to control that a 15.3hh irish draught mare of my friends that i occasionaly ride. I tried a few horses out around 16hh and i felt big on them. The only thing with big horses is they need to def have manners when u are handling them on the ground - they are too big to barge around need to respect u!!!
