Re: [RC] [RC] Horses!!! stop with the height - Amy D'Angelo


I have no idea why I am responding to this, but what the heck.  I haven't 
followed every post because I think it is so silly that people are complaining 
and comparing about the size of a horse.  My guy is about 15.2(non-Arabian), 
was average.  Then I started riding in CTR I feel like I am on a giant.  The 
number of times I have fallen off my horse, there is a lot to be said for a 
smaller horse.  Recently I was at "Over the Walls".  Someone on a HUGE 
warm-blood came by and I felt like my guy was tiny.  Size is all relative.  
It's what you feel comfortable on.  I used to think I wanted a 16 hh horse, now 
I wouldn't go any higher, especially because I am afraid of heights!  I am 
getting too old, I don't bounce as well as I once did.  IF I was to buy 
another, I would go shorter.  The other downfall to a tall horse is when you 
are trail riding, you are always the one getting caught up in the tree 
branches.  

This is one of the funniest threads I have seen.  Usually there is breed 
bashing.  Never have I heard size bashing.  (At least when it came to horses 
that is)  ;)
