If someone tells me their horse is "16.1 and 2/8th hands high" - I instantly think "Ah, a hackie..."

Lol!

I swear I have evidence to back this up though...recently when receiving entries for our horse trials (eventing, where height does not matter and is included on the form only to give the commentator some more info) quite a few people put the 8ths of their horses height on the form...and every single also competes in hacking :P Haha. The jumping/dressage only people just put "16.1hh" hehe. Amused me no end.

(Admits that her TB is 15.3hh and 5/8ths - because I hacked for a year!)
