	Many of those so called 16 hand Arabs are just regular sized Arabs with
long cannons. Not something I want.
	Besides that, when you inrease the height, you cange the proportions.It
isn't the same horse, only bigger.It's different. I wish the tall horse
fanatics would just go find another breed which is normally taller and stop
mucking about with Arabs.
