Ive recently started riding.

At 6 foot 6 I was wondering am i the tallest rider on this site?

It would be interesting to know how many other 6 foot ladies and men ride.
 
I'm a squeak under 6ft (not sure if I want to break the 6ft barrier or not - I'm 17 so I might just sneak up another cm or two :o - so quite tall for a girl but not hugely tall compared to a lot of male riders) and share a 15.2hh WB - apart from having to swap stirrup leathers for flatwork (his owner is 5'4'') I don't have too much trouble with my height :). He's a chunky lad though and I still seem to make him look like a tiddler :p.
 
my friends daughter is 16 and 6'2" until earlier this year she rode a 12.2hh pony..now she has a 15.2hh and its still not big enough to cater for her legs!

Hi I'm 5ft 11'' and have a 16.1hh horse, which is fine. When I as a kid I had a 13.2hh pony from 10 years, by the time I was 13 I needed roller skates for my feet when I got on him!!!!

Me on my share horse (I know the riding's a bit pants :p, the photo was taken when I went to try him for the first time)

And just for giggles, me on Flony_Pony's Flo (13.3hh I think) last summer

Im about 5'9 5'10! might be a big bigger duno lol!

i was always the tall one at RS- used to get put on the big horses whilst the rest of my class were on dinky ponies :)
 
I'm 17 and 5'11 and shared a 14.2hh pony for 3 years, up until 6 months ago! (I was obviously shorter when I first shared her - about 5'7 ish) but even when I was 5'11 didn't look stupidly big on her.

Here is a pic...

And I now loan a horse who is about 15.3hh and I'm fine on her..

Here's the pic

I'm a whisker under 6' and both my horses are 15.1 for various historical reasons. Both take my leg up well though which is actually what really matters when you're riding IMHO.

Howengold, I take it that's the 12.2 in the picture? :)
