Re: [RC] [RC] height of horses - Deanna German

You got that right, Ed!  And go look at the cutting horses--those 14-hand
Poco Buenos and Doc Bars and such--with the 6'6" riders whose stirrups
nearly drag the dirt when they belly down to cut!  And they are some of
the most agile, athletic QHs going!

-------------------

My husband's former boss competes in reining as an amateur and he and his
wife breed a few QH's. Their stud I believe is the first USET reining champ.

Bill is easily 6'4" and their horses are a little over 14 hands. But they
are as agile as cats and strong as bulls. Cute with tons of personality and
brains. Not what I had thought of as QH's. They do sliding stops, spins and
roll-backs for fun in the pasture before they are put under saddle. I'd love
to lay my hands on one of them, but the QH market is such that they've
outpriced me. (The sale stock are potential futurity winners.) So, I'll
continue to look for my needle in a haystack solid-built Arabian. <sigh>

Deanna -- anything over 15.1h is too far to fall anyway.
