There used to be a guy near us who seemed to advertise quite a few horses for sale. I was looking for a large pony or small horse, had to be 14.2 or under because we wanted to show in pony hunters.
He had a quarter horse mare advertised at 14.1 so I called him. On the phone, he said she was 14.3. I asked him about it because I didn't want to drive 25 miles to look at a too-big horse. His answer: "Well, how big did you want her to be?" I have always thought that was the classic horse dealer answer. He'd probably have claimed she would carry 300 lbs if I had asked. Nancy
