Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Multi-day Horses

I think you should go by the weight of the horse, not the height.  there is
a lot of variation of body types.  I have a 13.3hh and a 14.2 that weight
the same and wear the same size girth, and the pony stays marginally thin...
she just has that 'full bodied' body.
