Also, the height of the Arabian is wrong. Some arabians, purebreds, can be as tall as 16 hands. They don’t stop at 15 hands. For example, my 3 year old gelding is already taller than 15 hands. He could easily top out at 16 hands like his grandsire was.

I took the chart as an example, not an exhaustive list of all horse breeds my fave—Percheron are commonly 17 hands as are Friesians. I was an Eventer who road off track thoroughbreds that were at least 16hands. My last was 17.5 hands.

Missing more than charted seems the best indicator of talking range of heights. Gypsy Vanners, Moor ponies, so many others we could add. The article made the point

I would like to use the horse graphic above, but noticed it is copyrighted. Would Emily be okay with selling a copy of the image to use on a poster/sign?

Hi my name is star i’m 12. I think that this sight is perfect because it gives me enough info to make a great school article. I also used this site to figure out a horses face and leg marking. So please no fighting verbaley because this sight is open to young children like me. 😉 Also not to be rude but will you try making all these comments work like the shires commet and the smaller poney commet……..THANK YOU………. 🙂

Why did you omit the popular Shetland pony in favor of the Haflinger which almost nobody has even heard of?

I want a picture of a person next to the horses. I can’t find the one I recently found.

The chart is great. But adding a man next to the horses would give more perspective.
