Just thought I'd add my $.02 in about rider/horse size! I'm 5'6" and weigh
135-140llbs. My horse is 14.3 or a small 15.0 hh and he suits me just fine!
Although I admit that I am not tall, I am tall enough to be considered the
correct size for a 16.0 hand horse in Dressage! My instructor would *love*
to see me on a 16hh horse, but I love my horse and, on top of that (somebody
slap me now for what I am about to say) I am going to be purchasing a
Norwegian Fjord Pony (14-14.2hh) for Dressage and Eventing!;D I don't think
that I will look ridiculas at all!;D Besides, is there anyone in this world
who really *Needs* a HUGE horse?;D JMHO
