Well, they're hardly going to advertise them as under 14 hands, so who is to know unless you've seen them in the flesh? Even if you're correct, which I don't think you are, all the linebreeding without substantial outcrosses itself will create smaller and smaller horses in subsequent generations. And that is a fact.

Let's see some pics and diagrams of the under 14 handers. All we have is your word.

Substantial outcrossing does not need to be outside of the breed. That's a fantastic way to lose type.


True experts in their field are rarely understood by laymen, and are criticized by those who simply do not understand. Through their hard work, study and dedication to their field, they have moved well beyond the scope of those who have not invested equal time.
