rarely see particularly tall Arabian horses (over 15h) except where people
are breeding specifically for this and then, it's my personal feeling, that
sometimes other "parts" get out of whack and you might not have as nicely
put together horse as if you had stayed with the
shorter "version".
My Arab is an honest 15' 1". He is very well proportioned, a bit on the
down his side but that is really the only flaw he has. Had his withers caught up
to his croup, he would be 15' 2". He is extremely pretty, but not very brainy.
Sweet as the day is long but a bit challenged as far as the gray cells go. I saw
a horse that has his same breeding (very line bred) and this gelding got many of
the flaws that come along with line breeding. He is registered, mine is not.
Mine could have been stallion material, this other one definitely would not have
been. Beccy in Ut.
