I’m a tall girl but I ride what horse breed is best for a tall girl who does games and jumping?

shalay asked:


Game’s is like an English rendition of a rodeo. Only better.
game’s need to be done on smaller horse’s so horse’s like tb’s or hano’s are too tall. i need a strong short horse like 14 – 14.2 hh right now i ride a mustang mare and she’s 14.1 hh

   It really depends on the actual horse…some thorougbreds are 15 hands while some are 18 hands. Warmbloods are typically bigger bodied horses and tend to work well for a taller person. Good luck.

   You would probably look good on a big boned Hano or TB. I am a hunter judge I like to see tall people on big boned horses, there is something regal about it; however I would not fault you for being too tall unless you were riding a teeny pony.

   I would go with a large warmblood or tall TB if you can handle a hot blooded horse. Something with a little QH in it might look good, but it is not all about the breed, a grade horse can look just a good as a purebred in the ring. It’s about performance not pedigree!

   Most of the people I know who ride English prefer Thoroughbreds. I do rodeo and Western playdays and ride a Paint Quarterhorse.

   American Saddlebred are very nice for what you’re talking about, but I guess it depends on where you’re located if they are available or not.
