I posted this a few hours ago about Big Nick. I had a look around the boards before I posted and there was nothing else about the story that I could see. I just noticed there is now a News From Bree post on the same topic.
I promise not to cry if my post is deleted.

I have been around a horse that size, but

he was a thoroughbred, but looked bigger than this horse. I felt like a hobbit standing there. He had hip bones like an elephant. I could have taken a nap on his back--it was the size of my couch.
He could outrun their quarter horse.
If anyone wants to buy and stable Big Nick for me, I'll let you ride him once in awhile in exchange . . .

News from Bree was banished, rather than you. After all, you were here first.

That's the state university song, famous throughout the land because of college football (the pointy ended kind).
Now that's a horse! I do want him. I love the look on his face in the 4rth picture down. He can stay at my parents house in the garage.

He makes the fence look like something from a toy farm set.
We will look a picture, riding around on our two giant horses!

What's our combined height? Might we just reach the top of one of them stacked up? (I'm 5-foot three, just over dwarf size, I guess).
When looking at George, the big 18-hand Thoroughbred, it was obvious I wouldn't be able to sit up there and be able to bend my knees, much less reach stirrups no matter how shortened!

I'm 5 foot 1 on a good day.
There is a slight possibility we are looking at inappropriate sized horses for our height.

I'm five foot one, and can ride a horse quite well, however there's no way in heck I wouldn't feel like a tiny monkey riding atop that big guy! I don't think any stirrup in the world would put my legs at anything except sticking straight out! Heck, even Thorin and Dwalin are taller than I! 
I swear I'm half dwarf- my mother is four foot eleven inches, short legged, stocky, strong, has thick hair (and if she didn't pluck it she'd do a better mustache than my dad could ever hope to do). And she's probably one of the most stubborn people I've ever met! 
No worries- I'm honored to have "dwarf blood" in my veins  Even if it does mean that my thirtieth percentile daughters will pass me up by the time they're 8 years old (my 5 year old is only nineteen inches shorter than I am!). Apparently I'm in the fifth percentile for height...
I hope whomever wins that contest has longer legs than I!

ten feet four inches tall! And if we add in Cirshala, no horse would get the better of us (although we'd have to take extensive acrobatic lessons before it would do us any good . . .)

points more toward hobbits, who seem willing enough to ride horses or at least ponies when possible. Dwarves don't take much to horses.
My daugher just passed me up (by 1/4 inch). My son, of course did that when he was 14!

my hair is certainly curly enough to be a hobbit lol!
It doesn't quite reach my shoulders anymore (bad dye experience fried the ends, so I had to cut off about ten inches of my formerly long hair  ) but even at just past chin length, there are probably about eight or ten curls between head and ends (when I straighten it, which is rare because it takes so darn long, it generally adds about three to four inches in length, or did when it was long).
Who knows?
But I bet I would certainly look like a hobbit on that huge horse!
