My husband sold a wonderful Arabian gelding that was 14.3 hands at the time
because a man made a comment about him riding a small horse.  Horse eventually
grew to be over 15 hands.  It is one of his biggest regrets that he ever sold the
horse.  He has a new 4 yr. old gelding now that is 14.2 and he says he will not
make that same mistake again.
