The only exception is that Arabians are considered horses at any height even under 14.2

Hi, this might be a weird question...how tall are you?

because im going to buy a horse and im not sure which height of horses are the right or me, i am 155 cm 5 foot 1....yea im short =.=

thx~ =)))

@PR166lolly haha not weird at all! I'm 5'5" and a little bit. The "right height" horse is mostly just what feels most comfortable to you when you ride.

Didn't you know that tape measures eat horses?

@MakeUpHolic23 I am 6ft my horse is16h, i have ridden a 15h horse and a 17.3 horse. Best way is to sit on prospective horses and get a feel don't rule out a horse based on height before you test ride.
