That's been my impression, too.  I didn't actually have hands on them in 
Dubai, but did have on the rest of the squad--and they didn't strike me as 
being especially tall by comparison.  But yes, horses at that level do tend 
to have the good conformational traits that you mentioned, much more 
consistently than any particular height.
