14.2hh Horse or Pony???

[domane]

Well..... my 15hh irish cob has been lying to me..... :rolleyes:

Measured her today and could just about eke her out as 14.2hh!!! :eek:

Admittedly she is now barefoot but even so, she wasn't wearing stiletto's before, so..........

Is a pony classed as 14.2 AND under or UNDER 14.2?? Just wondered if I could join the "adults who ride ponies" forum??? :p

(she still feels like a "horse" to me ;) )

..... and I don't love her 2 inches less either!!! :D :D

Ooohhh Jaaannne it's spoooooky - both our horses (ponies) have lost height this week!!! Where are all these equine inches going? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/lynda788/SMILIES/sad-smiley-030.gif

I'd say she's a porse if you can't decide the cut off... or a honie? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/lynda788/SMILIES/laughing-smiley-008.gif

Defo a pony Jane.. As the proud owner of a 15hh pony(OK, I know:rolleyes: but he is just an overgrown pony), Chez has no chance of making the horse stakes.;)

[raggydoll]

lol they are all ponies to me anyway, Bim lost an inch in transit too so it seems quite a common occurrance.

Where are all these equine inches going?
Onto my hips!!! :( :p

[CurlyWurlyRach]

eek, i dont dare measure curly for fear my 16.1 will be 11.2 :eek:

T'is very odd that everyones equines are shrinking...

[NoviceNic]

Curly Rach -Noooo, dont measure Curly....http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/novicenic/asmiliey/rotfl.gif

I reckon we all must have http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/novicenic/asmiliey/stupidsign.gif written across our foreheads.

My friend thought she had bought a 14 2hh but he turned out to be 15 2hh..http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/novicenic/asmiliey/jawdrop.gif.

Personally I prefer ponies. I like to delude myself into thinking I am in charge of my little one. Despite the fact he only weighs 1/2 a tonne...http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/novicenic/asmiliey/ridinghorse.gif

I have discovered where all the inches are going! And it's not going to your hips Jane! Monty has seriously grown! When we got him he was about 14hh, he is now the same height as brandy, who is 15.3hh! :eek: x

[chickflick1066]

My 14.3hh beast looks more like 13.3hh/14hh as each day goes past ;)

So your Stumps is actually bigger than my Chez! Fancy that!!! :D
GIANT Stumpy..... :p

Do you think that horses are like people and shrink as they get older????

[jenren!!]

I dunno...Aramis was 16.1hh when i bought her, but now she is half an inch to an inch left...hmm.

Jane...14.2hh and under is a pony!! Deary me, you'll have to sign the membership form for the 'adults who ride ponies' club now, but hey, who says its a bad thing? http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/jenren22/Smilies/teehee.gif

[Sooty]

Heyyy, who cares? She's GORGEOUS anyway :D

[domane]

Heyyy, who cares? She's GORGEOUS anyway :D
:D You're a real pal!! She IS, isn't she? :D

Some of the inches are piling onto Fluke! We measured him last week and he was 13.3, 2 inches up from the last time we measured in the spring. His bum was 14hh! :eek:

What if he turns into a... HORSE??? :confused:

[chickflick1066]

Jane..Stumpy is only a giant in the areas similar to me :o bum and belly! Haha...she was sold as 14.3hh, she's actually only 14.1hh.

[Rarah]

It's not just me then??

My 15.1 turned out to be a 14.2 too:rolleyes:

Nowt wrong with having a pony :D

[lizzy]

Adam went out doing pairs at the hunter trials today, so he went out 14.3ish and came back 24HH :eek: :eek: :D :D

p.s Novice Nic is this Adam when he was a jousting pony (hhhmmm don't know how to insert your little jousting smiley)

[Kimo]

My 15hh turned into a 14.1 1/2 hh after being measured, so I'm in the pony section, too! What a nice place to be--I always wanted one and it turns out I actually own one.

[millie n pride]

I measured Pride just to check :p and he's just 15hh lol :D

[mad mare1]

Well, in that case Crystal is a pony...she was meant to be 15hh...she just about scrapes in at 14.2hh...but can feel like 16.2hh when she is pratting me around! well, her withers are 14.2hh, her quarters are actually 14.2 and a bit...so work that one out, and no, she isn't still growing, she is 20 years old!!!

[Little Dolphins]

Jane, you've got both! A horse AND a pony:D Twice the love and double trouble hee hee!

Everyone calls HQ a pony. It seems that only the tall types are 'horses'. Harley was sold as 15 h but she's 15.I and a half; I think the dealer was trying to keep her in the cob class of things, as when I said she looked a bit taller she said NO she's definitely 15 h.

[chickflick1066]

LD, cobs can go up to 15.2hh ;) So she still constitues entry to a cob class :D

Is she hogged btw?
