When I was 4'9, I had a 15hh horse (5 ft tall). You do not want a horse that is extremely short. I'd say if his whithers are below your chin, he's too short. And how tall he is is up to you. Do you mind having to use a mounting block? Are you afraid of heights? Do you like being able to jump on bareback with no assistance? Will you be trail riding without a mounting block handy? These are all questions you should ask yourself to figure out how tall you would like the horse. You could ride a 21hh horse if you wanted to. The question is, do you want to?
I would go with a horse whose whithers were about level with my nose, or no taller than a hand over my head. However, how tall your horse is is all up to you and your preferances.
depends on breed, dam and sire and how big they will grow to be
this depends on the breed of horse.
A horse can be 4 foot 11 inches and up at the withers 9the highest part of the back/shoulder) Which is 14.3 hands high. Pony's come in under this height.
It depends on the horse's breed.
1 year old :)
3 feet
No. Most of the horse world goes by this... Newborn/foal are under a year. Yearlings are 1-3 Horses is 4+
A horse ages 2 months a day on howrse, if you take care of your horse. If your horse is 10 months, your horse will then be 12 months the next day. Making your horse 1 year old.
Well, he's tall! He'll be about 6'0"-6'7".
It really depends, a VERY good horse can go for about ten thousand EURO but it can go anywhere up from one thousand. I got a horse a few weeks ago, 5 years old and 15hh tall and it cost me 1 thousand 2 hundred and she was broken. So it really depends
About 6'4" would be my guess
It is published that he is 5' 9 1/2" which is pretty tall for a 14 year old.
2 feet 1/2 inch
In horse racing, a horse's birthday is officially classed as the 1st of January each year. So, if a horse is born in September 1988, for example, it will be 1 year old in September 1989. But in racing terms it will turn 1 year old in January 1989, when it is not actually a year old just yet. So the horse will always be 9 months younger than it's racing age, and this sometimes means that a horse is raced before it is truly old enough. I hope this explains it clearly, just get back to me if I confused you.
1 year old; from then until age two it is a yearling.
A horse under 1 year old is called a yearling. A female horse between 1 and 3 years is a filly and a male between 1 and 3 years is a colt. A horse not yet weaned from its dam (mother) is a foal.
