do you think im too big to buy my loan pony?
at the moment i am loaning a 7y/o Arab mare who means everything to me but as we only have her for 6 months and have already had just over 1 we were starting to think that if shes not the right horse we should start to look. i don’t have any pictures of me on her on the computer but she is 14hh 2 and i am nearly 5′8 but have very long legs and a small body. Everyone i have spoken to at my yard has said that i look perfect size wise and not to worry but because there our friends i don’t know if its just being polite. What do you think if its possible to tell with the details? also if not then do you know any tips on buying or websites to look in the UK? thanks
If you have long legs then you probably do look a little disproportionate on an arab mare. if it were a horse with a deeper girth area it would probably be fine. Im sure she can carry you just find and if you have fun riding her then it should not really be a problem. but if you are going to show any, you may want to go up to about 15H or higher. But remember, bigger isnt always better.
