[ADDED] Horses Having Height

This could be a somewhat simple thing to add...maybe lol, horses having a height on their page. It could be another thing that people could breed for along with color like the smaller the Miniature Horse is the more money it would be worth, and it could or could not effect show results, like a 16h horse could jump better than a 13h horse, and could be a very small advantage.

i like the idea of having height for each horse(its adds more individuality), but not the idea that it might effect show results.

I've heard of ponies who can jump just as well as a 16hh horse. :) Other than the show results, I like your idea. :)

I like the idea of the height being implemented, but not for it having any effect on shows.

On the fence for the reasons above.

Stroller was a 14.2hh pony that made it all the way to the Olympics and beat top horses. I don't think height should affect showing, but it'd be nice for individuality.

I love the idea to a point. I really don't think it should affect a horses performance for the exact reason Maple has stated

Maybe for 'window dressing', but otherwise I'm not that wild about this idea. Sorry to be the stick in the mud on this. I have my reasons.

I like the idea of individuality with the heights, but, wouldnt like that to affect shows. That said, I don't support. Over all, if it's just for individuality it's just a litttle bit pointless imo.

If it's just "window dressing" there's already enough of that to keep an eye. I feel like adding something that has no point other than individuality would just clutter the page more than necessary.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes

I would love to breed horses for height!

I think it's a good idea because then the horses are more individual! However I don't think making hight affect show results...

I like/support the idea for individuality

I however think it should effect some within certain breeding lines

At some point 40"+ minis loose their AMHR papers in real life they don't class in miniature anymore.

However Theodore O'connor a little 14h or so pony took himself and his rider on to win the Kentucky Rolex more than once I do believe? Lots of thoroughbreds are no longer 17h either, they have found 16h horses to be just as effective to some degree.

My 15.3h paint prior to arthritis could jump as well as some 17+h warmbloods so height doesn't matter there

About the only place it does is in height restrictions (mini registration and pony classification) or in shows where height "matters"

Heights of the horse will really make things more realistic!

I love this idea! The individuality would make the game more interesting, the only problem I see with this is that having an excellent height would be yet another thing for breeders to keep track of. Besides the effects on show results I'm totally in ;)

I'll support this idea since I love the idea of breeding for individuality, but I don't think it'd be good for it to affect shows.
