Hi

hi I'm 5ft 2" and ride a 15.2hh welsh cob gelding but I broke in a 12.2hh dartmoor for my friends kid and I'm currently helping to break a 11.2hh welsh a/b for a friend.

Ponies are murder to break!! My last horse was easier!!!

[Daffy Dilly]

I'm 5'6 and my owner is 14.2 but I'll get on anything, any height, at least once. How much I'd do once I was up there/down there, would depend on how the individual animal carried me.

 

[GarnetFox]

I'm 5'1" and when I was riding at a riding school I rode horses ranging from 13.2hh to 17.2hh. I felt the most comfortable on the 13.2hh pony.

 

[SupaTania]

5'9 and my horse is 16hh.

But I ride anything from 14hh - 17hh, although i do look a right fool on the TINY thoroughbred.

 

[chickflick1066]

5ft4.9 and madam is 14.1hh although Norman reckons she's about 13.3/14hh.

[jowyles]

5ft8 and i ride a VERY cobby 15hh

 

[Vez]

I'm 5ft (maybe a bit smaller) and ride a 13.3hh welsh cob.

 

[CurlyWurlyRach]

5ft11 and Curly Wurl is full up 16.1hh. i sometimes feel a little big on her (im all leg) but its all in my head!

 

[~*sugarlump*~]

im about 5 ft 5 and quite slender (not sure of weight) and i ride anything from 13 hh to 15 hh

 

[evilgiraffe]

I'm almost 5'3", and ride anything from 13.2hh to 16.2hh. The ones at the smaller end of that scale are generally cobby type ponies (good and strong ). I prefer riding horses/cob-types of about 15.2hh. 16.2hh feels a bit giddy heights, and 14hh makes me feel like a big fat mamma!

Araminta: Stumpy seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
First time I saw her you said she was 14.2hh/14.3hh, then 14.1hh and now 13.3/14hh lol

 

[Keket]

I'm 5 feet tall (or should that be 5 feet short?) and thing (about 110 lbs). I've ridden a couple that were 16hh, one that's 14.2hh and one that's 14.3hh. The only difference I found in riding all of them was getting on. I've been told I look best on the 14.3hh though.

 

[marsden]

i'm 5ft 8in - i don't really like riding the wee ones so most of the guys/girlies i ride are 16.1hh+ but riding a 15hh at the moment

 

[joshes mum]

Im 5ft 4 and my horse is 15.2

 

[OneStepCloser]

I am 5'10" and have been riding anything between 14.2hh to 17.2hh. Feel so much more comfortable on horses over 16hh though.

 

[Smartie's mum]

I'm 5' 11" and Smartie is 15.2 hh. I do look quite big on her but I prefer to ride something smaller. I normally get put on really big horses when I have lessons.

 

[coss]

i'm just over 5'7" and my two arabs are 14.2hh. I feel a little big on them height wise but never mind, i don't like riding anything smaller than a 14.2 but ride horses any bigger really, mainly 16hh and 17hh.

Hi there Lulu. Great thread. Everyone is answering your question, but there must be a reason for you asking it??
