Horse Height

[Fiona]

Is it just me, or is something like 14.X too small? Caught a really beautiful wild horse, but with 14.1 it looks pretty weird to ride it (Rider size relation to the horse). Do you have such tiny horses? Or do you even have a problem with that size?

Anything less than 15 hands is a pony. An average riding horse is 16hh-16.3, small horses are 15hh-15.3hh. Personally I would like to see more 17hh horses. The character avatar is about the size of a child in proportion, currently (not complaining, just observing)

They are Mustangs and many Mustangs are ponies. So a range that is ingame is pretty accurate. And 16.2 (~1,67m) might be normal for a sport horse - but pretty tall for a Mustang.

I keep a couple 14x ponies because they seem (this is merely my impression) to do better in the competitions where's there's lots of close jumps, probably because being smaller they have more room to get a proper stride between jumps.

Edit: Forgot to add, personal preference i keep all height horses. The 14hh-ers are cute too, I'm more focused on breeding specific coat colors.

I pass up any short horses I find in favor of taller ones as a personal preference... and have not noticed any difference in competitions with small vs tall horses. What matters are stats, not size.

That's good to know, thanks Pandapop! Saves me from keeping any I don't need for my projects.

i say if you want a tall horse then get one then breed with a horse with good stats
