Roselina asked if 16.2 hh is tall for an Arabian mare?

Question

One of the members here, Roselina, asked me that question in a comment when she chose my reply as Best Answer to one of her questions and I had no way to reply to her comment.

While most purebred Arabians stand between 15 and 16 hands, 16.2 hh is quite common if there is crossbreeding with a Thoroughbred. I have a friend who has an Anglo-Arabian mare (an Arabian and Thoroughbred crossbreed) standing 16.2 hh and she is superb in beauty, motion, and temperament.

Anyone here have a crossbreed Arabian standing above 16 hh?

Answer 1

My friend has one, 16.1 hh. Anglo-Arab =]

Answer 2

16 hands is common in Anglo Arab's If the Arabian was of good size and the T.B. WAS it's most likely you'll get a big one,,

Yes there are many

They are some of the nicest horse's around, I love 1/2/ Arab's

Answer 3

Not really !!

I have seen them close to 16,3, But not much bigger then that.

I am sure there might be some where !
