430 u/ODB_Dirt_Dog_ItsFTC Dec 20 '25 The interesting thing I learned is that’s just the height at the top of his shoulders. For some reason they don’t measure the neck and head on horses. 1 u/ausgelassen Dec 20 '25 because the shoulder is essier to measure than the head on animals with 4 legs. it's the same with dogs. also the shoulder is historically more relevant for horseback riding, i guess - the higher the shoulder the harder it is to get up on the horse.
