Boy that's the truth!! I
am tall, so I look for taller horses. And I cant tell you how many thousands
of miles I have driven to look at 15.3 horses that were 14.3. ""Oh but we
measured him with a stick!!"" Fiddle sticks! Annie G.
I'm not even sure being measured with a stick will convince some---since
we started measuring horse height at research rides, on hard, level ground,
with a good stick, there's always at least one person that will insist we
don't need to measure because their horse **is** such-and-such
height. When our stick says shorter (invariably), it must be
that "the stick is wrong" (it isn't). The best is when we're told
the horse is "officially" 16-something. We manage to keep our faces
straight until we get back into the motorhome, then we all start rolling
around laughing hysterically.
