too big

[a+e]

Do you think i look too big for my 14.3 mare? Im 5' 6 and weigh about 9 stone

[Joyscarer]

Nope I think you are fine :D

[coyote]

there are numerous threads about this subject below your thread :rolleyes:,have a look at those but IMO no you are not too big,im 5ft 8 and 13st and my lad is 14.2hh 3yr old cob.

I think you look perfect :)
Can I ask why you asked?

No way are you to big! My mare is 14.2hh and im 5ft6 and 8 1/2 stone, people say she looks too big for me :eek: Some horses just seem to carry the weight better than other horses and you and your mare look fab:D

Because sometimes i feel like my legs feel a bit long and my feet almost touch beneath her. Maybe i just ride with my stirrups too long!

I feel like that when I ride my cob-type. He is 14.3 and i am verging on nearly 5 ft 10 now. I think it's just paranoia on my behalf because I know that i don't look as tall as I feel.
Your mare looks quite "deep barrelled" (if that's the right thing to say) so you have quite a lot of barrel to take up your leg.
Aslong as balance isn't an issue and you are comfortable riding her then you look perfect :D

Thanks, i do feel comfortable riding her, i just feel bigger on her than i look!

Seriously, you don't have anything to worry about!

[ShariN]

You are not to big for your pony!

If you need some pictures there are lots on this list...you will feel better for it.
Or Look up the Eidfaxi Magazine web site.

Also want to let you know...all my horses are much shorter than yours.:D
