Very tall riders

[Lobelia Overhill]

I'm 15'11 (and a girl obv haha) and have size 6 and 7 feet (sometimes a 5 in wellies). People seem to think it's quite small for my height Never thought it was but after these posts I see that it is

I have size 6 feet

i've tried ebay with no luck.
at my height my hunter wellies come mid way up my calf.
I can't afford leather boots, so have to be rubber riding boots.

Im 6ft-my boy is just 15hh & my girl is about 14hh.
I was at a show Sunday & a woman in my class was questionning whether my boy was a horse as I must have looked so tall on him
I prefer riding the little-lys though

any other 6 footers out there?

I'm 6ft, have been since I was about 12 - so I only had a few years with ponies..

I unfortunately am very long in the body so whilst leg wise I could probably get away with a chunky 15.2 I look absolutely stupid up top on them!!

Thats why I am currently looking at 17hh+

I'm just under 5'11" with very long legs and a short body!! My 'pony' is 17.1hh and I look just about right on him.

i always feel better on anything 17.2 and over but i def dont look too bad on any of mine(inc 14.3/15hh etc) i think as long as they are chunky they take up the leg well.(im 37" inside leg)

also as an aside im 6'1 and a size 6 shoe..think thats why i am so accident prone
