> My father-in-law is 6'8" and I don't see him riding a Fjord. I put my 6'1" 280lb husband on my 14 hand fjord and he (the horse) had no problem. I also put him on my more slender appy mare and she was comfortable with him also. It has to do with BALANCE not size. I have seen peanut kids cause my fjord more discomfort due to their lack of balance and coordination. Please remember that adults are aware of their size and tend to be more cautious about their riding. In fact I have had to tell a few of my adult riders to become more aggressive or the horse will take advantage of them! Kate
