Here's a start -

Caro - 16.3
Crafty Prospector - 15.2
Vaguely Noble - 16.2
Native Charger - 16.2
Cornish Prince - 16.1
Nijinsky -16.1

All quotes from various stallion registers (so take them with a grain of salt :wink: ). The ones I did not find had no heights listed.

Thanks!

But is this true: "little" Vaguely Noble was bigger than "huge" Nijinsky?

lol, and where did 'huge' Nijinsky got his size from? Not from his sire Northern Dancer for sure. Him and Hyperion were about the shortest I can think of.

Thanks for all responses.

I am glad to see the responses, but just curious to know the urgency if you are in a sharing mood.

Thanks,

Everything I read about Ninjinsky is that he took after his dam's side, looked a lot like her, nothing like ND. He did OK otherwise though... :D 16.1 isn't that huge though, wasn't ND 15.2? That's only 2".

A true 16.1 horse is a pretty big horse in my book, but then I'm not a tall person [5'4" shrinking, lol]. I have a TB mare which stands close to 17 hands and an Anglo-Trakehner which stands 16.2. Both are mares and out of the same TB mare, my original broodmare. I also have shrimps, lol, so there is a huge difference in appearance between a 15.2 and a 16.2 hand horse. By the way, one hand equals four inches, so there are 3 inches between 15.2 and 16.1.
