I grew up with horses and miss them very much, but living in the city makes having one kind of impossible. One day... :)Kellene Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599107523099018982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743965357861234981.post-23774232128257821552013-06-03T01:28:05.706-05:002013-06-03T01:28:05.706-05:00That's a lot of horse!

Imagine a horse that size that was a prankster once you got in the saddle. <br /><br />I also wanted to say how beautiful you are in these pictures. :-)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445927851498985260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743965357861234981.post-1660049715336999642013-06-02T22:10:43.123-05:002013-06-02T22:10:43.123-05:00I think 17.2 would be 5'10", but that'...I think 17.2 would be 5'10", but that's close enough.

He is young and still growing. <br /><br />For those of you who don't know what 17hh means, hh stands for "hands high." Horses are measured in "hands" from the ground to their withers (withers are the bump where their neck meets their back, in the pic of Urban & B-dog with Jasper, Urban's hand is on Jasper's withers). One hand is 4 inches, 17.2 means 17 hands plus two inches. So Jasper is about 5'8" at the withers, or about 1.8 meters, if you swing that way.

I hope things work out with Jasper and he continues to like being at your place. XXXPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445927851498985260noreply@blogger.com
