Am I too big/small for this horse? Posted: 17 Jan 2010 01:37 PM PST Most people I know, whether tall or petite, want a horse that is BIG. Being 5'10" and having little choice in the matter, I marvel that smaller riders aren't enjoying the considerable benefits of a smaller horse -- say, 15.2 to 16.2. They have fewer soundness issues, use less resources (bedding, etc), they don't require an oversized trailer, stall, or horsewear. They are often easier for ladies to ride successfully. Aesthetically, finding a right-size horse depends on a lot of things. I can name a few, what other considerations are there?
I think this looks okay; the rider position on this pony contributes to a balanced look. I suspect it's a trainer in the irons. |
