How The Hivewire Horse (harry) Came To Be.

Hey Earl, I don't have the MilHorse handy at the moment, but here's a quick render of the Poser11 Horse and Harry. I placed them in the space place, and then made the Poser Horse semi-transparent.

I don't know with regards to the Poser horse as I don't have Poser, but here is a comparison (left view, not perspective) of the Mill Horse, Daz2Horse and Harry (I made the MH and HW horses white and left the D2H bay and lined them up on the front legs so it was easier to see the differences), as you can see, Harry is a bit smaller with the MH and D2H being closer to each other in size and shape.

Miss B, the poser horse looks a bit scary being semi transparent :D

Now I have to do a little research to find out how tall a horse usually is. And then I think i read somewhere that dressage (whatever that is), adds an inch or two.:sneaky:

Can you tell I'm a city boy? I was raised near the country, not in it.:sneaky:

Well it depends on what bread you are going for and Dressage has nothing to do with height. Your average horse is normally around 15 hands 2 inches up to 16 hands 2 inches (1 hand = 4 inches) but horses range from 14.2 up to 18 plus. anything under 14.2 is considered a pony :)
Um not like I have made a study of horses or any thing :whistling:
Oh and the height is taken at the point where neck and back meet, other wise known as the wither

Wait, horses are only about 5 to 5.5 feet tall? Hmm, thought they were taller.
At the back, yep some are taller some are shorter. I am 5'9" and can see over most horses backs easily on the other hand some one I know has a horse that is 17 hands and his back is above my head

Okay, I think I get it now, the height of a horse is measured from the ground to the back. I was under the impression that you measure a horse to the top of his head like you do a human.

Dreamer is correct. Generally anything over 14.2 hands (at the withers) is a horse and under is a pony although some breeds overlap that mark (and there are other considerations).
Shires (similar looking to a Clyesdale) are one of the largest breeds (The largest horse in recorded history was probably a Shire named Mammoth, born in 1848. He stood 21.2 1/4 hands high or 86.25 inches/219 cm). The smallest living horse (male) currently on record (and not a dwarf) is is Charly, a miniature arragon arabian horse who measures 63.5 cm (25 in).

Would Charly be the little guy in the amazon commercial? Or is that one a dwarf. Those mean ol' horses first looking down their long noses at the little guy then walking away from him because he didn't measure up.
