Yup, has to be measured straight up and down and not against the body contouring at the shoulder. Like when we're measured for our height, some of us would be taller if a measuring tape followed our contours. 😜😀
Order a stick specifically designed to measure horses Pony Club and 4-H require that all size/height measurements be done with the stick for accuracy. Horse stands on level ground, put the horizontal portion against the base of the withers, and read the height measurement on the vertical portion next to the horse, but not touching the horse. You did an excellent job with your tape, but due to not measuring at the wither base and allowing the tape to curve over the shoulder you might be off 1-3 inches. Do them again in the Spring. And you are correct a young working horse does add height as the exercise stimulates growth hormone which circulates during rest/sleeping. Height depends on a combination of genetics and early nutrition. Some horses can continue to grow through the sixth year. So sorry this is long, but it might provide valuable information to Flommies and others. Still learning after 51 years of horses.
I agree on not to bend the tape over to the top of withers, that she needs the measuring stick to be absolutely sure , and on flat ground of course like she mentioned few times In there . As well as the horses shoes add height. But over all good job you done fallon
To get the correct height, you cannot go from the shoe and place the measuring tape OVER the back. You need a yard stick to lay across the highest part of the back out toward the measuring tape. Hope that helps. take care love your channel.. Stay safe. ttyl Would be easier with a metal measuring tape. :)
A measure stick is the best way to do it. Following the contours of the horse will get you close but not truly accurate. It gives you a good idea around where they are though!
So hilarious! I hope you all know how freakin’ fab y’all are! Dynamite - that near bite brought laughter tears to my eyes! So entertaining!! Bravo! 💯👏🏼🔥
Oh man this makes me laugh so much 😂 that moment Oakley was just moving her mouth but Fallon had that moment of; this is it, I've had a good run 😂) There's always one sketchy horse in the barn 😂
When she said nefy dimolished her blanket don’t judge I was like my horse sees a blanket and runs and scream lol same thing with a fly mask lol 😂 so I have no room to judge lol 😂
“Karen will let us know in the comments” There’s a new T shirt in that! 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!! I always reckon horses ‘look’ taller or shorter than they are because they have longer or shorter legs lol
Not sure if others have mentioned it, but the tape measure/level app on your iPhone works really well for measuring a horse's height if you don't have a stick:)
38th AAAAAAHHHHH I AM GETTIG YOUR MERCH SOON I CANT WAIT I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUUU
Some probably appear smaller because of the lay back of their shoulder, their head set and height of back vs heigh of either. It happens all the time with dogs that are high In the shoulder
I know how bad the weather sucks but it would be a dream come true if you I would get to see you ran at the district likestock show and rodeo in Lake Charles and meet you you are so awesome 😍😍
8:57 haha oh my gosh, why is Fallon so me when a horse opens their mouth near the face XD #sketch Also, my Appaloosa X AQH was 14.3hh the last time I measured him and he's nearly 12 years old.
Fallon you are so sweet. Please redo the measurements with the correct measurement tool . If a horse bows off a barrel, they add distance to the pattern and the time is slower. Show the world they don't have to have a 15 hand horse to win the NFR. I'm proud of the pony , little horses have huge hearts ❤️❤️❤️
You are measuring over the blanket so you are probably adding an inch or two per horse. Any you are curving the tape along the body. Put a board on the withers and measure from the board to the ground
“Karen will let us know in the comments won’t she” 😂😂😂😂😭😭

😂Jip agreed
Absolutely!!!
I'd be 7ft if you followed the contours hahaha
it works the same she went straight up and then put her finger where the wither stops and then layed that on heir shoulder not moving the tape 😂😋

She also needs to subtract 1/2 an inch for the shoes, on top of everything else
4-h does not require height
I agree on not to bend the tape over to the top of withers, that she needs the measuring stick to be absolutely sure , and on flat ground of course like she mentioned few times In there . As well as the horses shoes add height. But over all good job you done fallon
Emily Rock in Michigan it is not required so it is not an overall 4-H it might be for certain places
Emily Rock not where I live I show there and ponies aren’t measured it might just be because where I show is not as strict

Did anyone else notice that Fallons jacket matched the bottom of babyflos blanket!!
I wouldn't mind having a blanket like hers
Yes! Thought it was cute! ❤️
Now I really want to see them measured with the stick in the aisle! I didn’t realize Fallon was so tall!
My mother in laws name is Karen and boy do I feel y’all ! 🤣🤣

Normally, you hold the tape straight up and down, however it’s close enough.🤗🤗 Have a blessed day!! Love seeing your new post.
So hilarious! I hope you all know how freakin’ fab y’all are! Dynamite - that near bite brought laughter tears to my eyes! So entertaining!! Bravo! 💯👏🏼🔥
I love you soooo much. Thank you for being here for us.
Oh man this makes me laugh so much 😂 that moment Oakley was just moving her mouth but Fallon had that moment of; this is it, I've had a good run 😂)

Fallon you are so sweet. Please redo the measurements with the correct measurement tool .

Nice vid

I took away about an inch to make up for the blanket
@@fallontaylor Ok. I really enjoy your videos. I use to train Arabians for the Class A show circuit. Really miss my horses.
It’s meant to be mesured straight up and not wrapped around their shoulder ☺️
I love the "Karen" comment!!😂😂😂😂
I think the curving around your ponies body throws you off a little hehe
I see so many Karens! :P Still fun to play around with even if it isn't "right".
In Canada it’s -35c degrees
Hey Fallon when you have time dm me, I messaged you on instagram but hope you guys have a awesome rest of the day love your channel ❤️
Are you still in kansas
What about Sunday brunch??
i have a horse named Luna
