What horses are good at 3 day eventing?
Almost all horses are able to event, but some of the popular Olympic and 4-star breeds are warmbloods, thoroughbreds, and sporthorses. This is because these breeds are bred strong and for jumping. An ideal height for an event horse would be around 16hh to 17hh, as a horse to short may struggle to clear large fences, and a horse too large may be unbalanced.

What horse height is right for and 5foot 9 11 stone person?
At your height and weight I'd pick a horse in the high 15 hands range. Also remember that a horse shouldn't carry more than 20% of it's own body weight( and no fat/overweight horses cannot carry more) This includes tack and rider weight together. You should also look for a horse with thick cannon bones and broad loins.

Although technically a horse is a pony until he reaches the height of 14.2HH there are many breeds that stand 14HH.

But many of the foundation Quarter Horses were very small compared to what they are today.* *It is not uncommon for a registered QH to stand 17HH or more.
Why did knights need large horses?
Bigger horses were needed because they were stronger and more intimidating. They had to carry around 400 or more pounds becasue the knight was around 150 pounds, and with the tack and armor on both the knight and the horse, it totalled to about at least 400 pounds, probably more like 500 or even 600. Also, bigger horses were more intimidating to foot soldiers. Would you be more scared of a little 13hh pony or a 17hh Fresian?
Are Spanish Horses and Andalusian Horses the same thing?
A Spanish horse is technically a horse born in Spain, or of Spanish decent. This term is perhaps too general. All Andalusian horses are "Spanish" or Spanish-type horses.

The Andalusian horse is a very old, recognized, breed of horse with characteristics such as an arched neck, short bodies, measuring around 15-17hh. etc. Depending on the context, they may or may not be the same.
