ok help...i think im too big 4 my horse my mom and friends say in not but i think i am
ok so im about 5"2 or 5"0
and my horse id 15.1 hands .....
what do you think... am i too big or am i just being silly ,,,,,
i want srait answers only ......thanks
Definately not too big. One of the best dressage pairs I saw was a large pony and a woman that neared 6 ft. The would have been doing major competitions but since they couldn't get him to stick larger than 14.2 it was a no go.
I'm 5'9 and my instructor put me on a horse about the size of yours, I used to think I looked silly but then I went to a show and saw others my size on even smaller horses, so I would say relax and enjoy
I am 5'1" and my horse is smaller then yours, I think my horse and I are the perfect size together! No-way are you to big! not unless you weigh over 250 pounds and it does not look like that is the case!
your about the size of me and my barrel horse. i'm 5' and she's 15 hands, i think shes the perfect size for me, i've also ridden 14 hand horses and i thoughtit was fine.
I'm 5'4" and most of the ponies I break are 13'3 to 14.2, and I show them. I don't look big on them and I'm all leg. Your horse is fine, but you are probably so comfortable on your horse that he doesn't feel all that big any more, that is how I feel on my 16.3hh Trekhaner.
ur fine!!! like omg im 5.10" and my horse is 15.3" ish.. im WAY bigger then u and i still have plenty of growing to do before im to big fro him... if anything ur to small for him :P
no your not to short. the horse i started on was 14.3 hands and im 5'2 granted i now have a 16.3 hands tall and 17 hands tall but i feel like the horses are too big for me
Your definetly not to big. I ride a 14.3 and a 16.o hand horse and my trainier, Jessica rides a 14.3 hand stallion. Look her up, Jessica Wisdom and EqEquestrian.com. Jess is like 5'7" and looks fine.
