Re: [RC] [RC] Horse size....what gives?!?! - rides2far


My pet peeve is people who assume a short breeding horse is going to 
produce short babies. 

I think nature longs to hit the middle ground and hates extremes. It's
funny, in my family there are 8 people. My dad is 5'4 my mom's 5'2.  All
four girls are below 5'1, the boys are 5'3 and 5'7. So, they produced
greater height than their own one out of 6 times. So...what kind of guys
are the females in my family attracted to?  Well, my neice that was 4'10
(the shortest of us) married a guy who was 6'6". The other 4'11 neice
married 6'2. My daughters are both 5'1 and are both dating 6'2 guys. With
any luck, we'll pull our family line back towards the center.
Unfortunately, my brothers couldn't handle the idea of taller wives. They
both married shorter and have produced *even shorter*. My 5'7 brother's
son is 5'4. He married a girl who's 5'2 and their children (both boys
unfortunately) are tiny and will probably want shorter wives. Maybe I
should keep the name of the person with the 13.3 Arab in case they decide
to compete someday. :-))
