By definition 14hh would make the horse a pony in height. A person of any height can ride a 14hh pony so long as they don't exceed the 20% weight rule (A horse or pony should never carry any more than 20% of it's own bodyweight, this includes the rider, tack and other equipment.). However a rider above average height ( 5'4" for females and 5' 8" for males in the USA) may have to ride with shorter stirrups to allow their legs to lay in the correct position for giving leg aids. Other than that height doesn't necessarily matter.

How do you determine the right height horse for me I am a 167cm tall 14 year girl 60kg what would be the right height horse for me I am not sure what height to be looking at 15hh-16hh.?

For a rider of your height and weight, a horse between 15hh to 16hh would be a good range to consider. A horse around 15.2hh to 15.3hh may be a good starting point and provide a comfortable fit for you. It's also important to consider the horse's build, temperament, and training level in addition to its height.

How tall is a miniature pony?

It isn't about how old a horse/pony is before it is ridden it is about the age. The normal age for breaking in a horse/pony is around 3 y.o. It can take up to 6 months to fully break in a horse/pony. You can ride a horse/pony at any age as long as they are broken in or you are slowly bringing them into work ( breaking them in yourself). If you are able to break in a horse then you should start of with slow walks around the yard/menage/paddock etc so the horse/pony can start to trust you and then further educate him. I have heard of an 11 y.0 boy who was riding an 8hh ( hands high) shetland pony. It really doesn't matter how tall the pony is; it is about how tall the rider is. I would say a broken in shetland pony should have a rider aged 3 - 8. After this age you would move onto a 12-13.2h pony and by the age of 11/12 a 13.2 - 14.1 pony should be the right height and you will be able to keep the horse as you won't out grow it unless you are particulary tall for your age.

How tall is a horse that is 1 year old?

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.
