I'm never going to worry about making an out of scale horse again

This chap, 'Jake' is nearly 20.3 hands tall. ( 6' 8.75"  or 210.2 cm).......That's the measurement to what is effectively the base of his neck.
Goodness knows how far the tips of his ears are from the ground.  



I reckon the lass standing next to him is around 5' 10".....Maybe taller.

Will you be doing new horses for the Mongols now?

... and according to the Guinness Book of Records, this is without shoes!

At first I thought, surely this ain't another one of Techno's tall stories .... turns out I was right.

Why the long face.....?

Cor! A unit of those will probably make elephants test morale at -3!

I don't suppose the woman has been carefully selected for being 3'6" tall, has she?

I've just edited his height.
He's not 6' 2" + to the base of his neck......It should have read 6' 8  3/4"

No, Kitty.
I'm pretty sure the lass is tall, rather than short. 

I did see a lass who looked tiny, riding a horse many years ago.
It wasn't until the horse stood next to me, that I realised the young lady was perfectly 'normal' sized, and the horse was somewhat on the tall side. (18 hands).
That gee-gee above, would make the 18h horse look on the small side......Sheesh.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought "well, Techno's bragging again".

I shall now use all my 15mm pack animals with Pendraken armies without any qualms. 

The largest horse in the UK was at a college in Croxteh park, retired police horse, 22-23 Hands. Bloody huge it were.
