You are right about what matters is how it feels to ride. Do you love him?
I posted about height mattering only because in lessons I accidentally ended up riding and loving a horse over 16 h and last week hacked a horse just as big. I know my place in the equestrian world.
You will parade out on your black charger looking like Empresses used to.

I didn't want to put that. But felt 16.3hh without shoes is right.Exactly 17 hands - I shall send him back I think as he is not as described!
Remember they add inches.
To be honest I am glad the cob didn't make her estimated 15.2hh.
Yes there you go 16.3hhwithout shoes NF! Huge bonus he rides unshod too but he has his old fronts on - so took half inch off for those
Just spoken to his ex owner (well almost ex ) to tell her how he was settling in, mentioned in passing, not complaining that he is actually coming up 17 hands on t e stick not 16.2.......'Ah sure the extra two inches is your luck penny - we won't charge you for that!!!' Only in Ireland bahahha!

I also like your having a horse called Miller. Edward Miller - legendary polo player and mentor of my grandfather - and may be me too. He wrote the great book on modern polo (describing his accidental discovery that polo ponies did better when turned out for winter) and a handbook on horse care at the front in world war one.
However, I have bowed out from the big horse brigade, (was physically damaged by his saddle) and switched to an Irish mare 15.2 perhaps and more what I am used to.
