According to a horse book that I own, in the section on Arabians..... and I
quote " Normally standing 14 to 15 hands (although there no height
restrictions for the breed)," etc.... so it sounds as if in the Arabian
registry any purebred, registered Arab can be shown in Arabian horse
classes regardless of size.
The horse book, entitled "Horses" was written by Kate Reddick.

I just had to comment Carol... I know this lady well. She is a neighbour
and a friend of mine. I have known her for years and have ridden with her
on several occasions. Thank you for letting me know about her article. I
shall get a copy from her and read it. Thanks again.
