Re: [RC] Height of horses - Karen SullivanI am going to jump in here for Kim (ha ha, got the scoop on her), as I am the one who told her the Rushcreek gelding is 16.2....and I stand by that. I am the one with the "magic" measuring stick, magic in that it is ACCURATE!!! So, I know, when I stick my 5 year old mare, that she is honestly 15.3., the mustang I bought that was advertised as 16h is really 15.2....and these gals are BIG horses. Now, I am as much a fan of smaller horses than anyone, but I am just under 6 ft. and I am ALL LEG!! I rode a 14h Arab for years and had a ball.....but my legs were much longer than hers when we stood side by side. IT was pretty funny looking. But she was big barreled and carried me just fine. I am somewhere in featherweight/lightweight. ANYWAY, back to this Rushcreek monster that is 3/4 Arab.....I will bet money that he is an honest 16.2. Not only is he much taller in the back than my 15.3 mare......he has very high withers.......and with me at 6 ft., this is one of the few horses I have to look UP to!!!

I try not to hold that against him because he is so awesome.My other horse was sold to me as 15.2H and we have sticked her at 14.2H . You saying the other horse is actually 14.2 makes me consider that maybe you actually got a huge one. I'd LOVE to see a photo. I used to haul a TB for a lady and it was 16.2. If I reached as high as I could possibly reach with my fingertips, that was the top of his withers. I can't imagine an Arab like that.
