When finding the right height of horse, your feet should be no lower than the horse's belly and no higher than three inches below the bottom of the saddle flap. I know that arabs are not generally very large and have quite a thin frame so you may find you need something a little larger and bulkier, not sure how tall you are though. Another thing I was taught is that if you can rest your chin on a horse's back without bending down or standing on tiptoes, it's the right height for you
I dont really belive thats true though because I know adults who ride Iclandic ponies wich are fairly small.
And adults could ride Triggy bum but they just looked silly.
Thats just what I ment is I always look too tall for the horses(I feel fine on them but if I see a picture of me on them I realize how small they are).
