How small are some of the great horses?

I know babyflo is around 14.3, and same with stingray

I know movin is smaller too, but not sure how small she is!

I think Hot Shot was more like 14.2.  Bozo was also about that size.  I remember being amazed standing next to Bozo at a local jackpot in OK on my horse who was a shorty.  I always thought Bozo looked much bigger on TV.

Also, a horse that Kim Landry won the Fort Smith Futurity on and then the derby the next two years, On the Money Love was maybe 14 hands and weighed about 800 pounds.  Tiny little wicked fast mare.

I've had what I'd say were three real barrel horses (as in trained, seasoned and finished... not just some random project horse in the pasture) and the best one has been a little 14.2-14.3 gelding.  The other two were 15.1-15.3, but the little guy has so far been the best! 

I just wish I was a little bit shorter and I'd open up my search criteria!!!

In an interview Fallon states babyflo is MAYBE 14.2 and I also read Movin was 14.2.

I ran a little mare that won Congress and AQHYA World in bending and she was 14.1, she was a half sister to Mighty Mouse who is also very small.
