I was 'told' that when I got Thunder he was 15hh, and when I got Turner he was an inch bigger and so I assumed he is 15.1hh.
I rode a friends horse quite a lot and struggled to get on this 15.2 mare.
So I got the measuring tape out and managed to stand up a long plank with a small piece off to one side to measure my boys at the "highest point of the withers".
I'm probably in the wrong place, but I did it twice and I think they are only 14.1hh hahahaha (They may be even smaller, depending on where I should take the measurement from )
Also, it's got 15/15.1 on their passports!!! Will I need to get this changed? I can just imagine THAT phone call!!
Can someone explain to this old novice fool at which EXACT point do you take the reading from? A 'put it right here' pointer on a photo of a real horse would be a bonus rather than the basic stick horse drawing off the tape
