You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	Height doesn't matter as much as amount of bone. We just bought a 5YO first down french filly, who is probably 14.3? hands? but is a solid solid mare. Not at all worried she won't be able to keep up. I would be more worried about a fine boned horse regardless of height.

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	I'm 5'9 bringing along a 14.1h cowbred gelding who is a barrel turning SOB. Now we have to see if he wants to run! He's got a good amount of bone, wears a medium iconoclast in front and could wear a large behind without any trouble. I felt huge on him at first because my other gelding is 15.3

I actually prefer smaller horses as long as they aren't fine boned.

Veteran Posts: 285	I like little horses. My made is 15.2 and my tb is not much taller! She just looks taller cause shes thinner and lankier than my qh. I'm 5'1 and like the short horses. They're easier for me to get on ;)
