The tallest horse I’ve breed is a 21.3hh Arabian from my Saddleseat line. My horses have steadily been getting taller as I breed for competition scores. :lol:

So with that, what's the biggest horse you own?

I think max height is 21.3/22hh, and then to completely max out size the horse would want to be 100% size 100% pony type. I wonder what the heaviest horse physically possible would be...

By the way, is anyone informed why Arabians tend to be that tall in the game? Maybe Arabian breeders tried to make Arabians taller at some point or any other story behind this.
Back in like 2016 to 2018 Arabians were the most popular breed and thus were over bred (and horribly inbred) leading to our massive arabians now.

In my experience with breeding my Arabs there is a lot of variation that can happen when you breed two together. My AC stock for instance were an average of 14hh but produced horses ranging from 13-15hh. I’m not sure if this is a coding thing or something. Also my high COI horses have a tendency to stretch this variation even further with 17hh parents creating foals a full three hands taller. It just appears that in breeding taller horses often pop up and if you aren’t careful that trend will continue

We have the answer to that now, I guess. According to Larissa, he’s so heavy he broke Time: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/4713081

He's actually not the heaviest horse, on my test server while fixing this bug I got one quite a bit heavier :)

Thanks for the info. Interesting, what algorithms stand behind such breeding results. I bred a 16.0hh Arabian stud with a 17.1hh Half-Arab and it suddenly gave me a filly, who is 13.1hh in her almost 3 years (so I doubt she will be much higher as adult).
