Ah ok- my mistake [In reply to] Can't Post

I am an American, after all, and never actually been to Europe (though Scandinavian by blood) Evil

As for thinking Germany was Northern European- you can blame the lousy US educational system for that one Crazy

1.74m- that's about 5 foot 8 inches, right?

Although... [In reply to] Can't Post

... I have lived in the USA for a year, I never got the hang of the measurements there :D So I don't know ^^

Funnily, I found a lot of people in the US to believe the weather in Germany to be much colder than it is. During a blizzard (!) in NYC someone tried to convince me the weather in Germany was basically Siberia :D

Overall: yes. However... [In reply to] Can't Post

sometimes a few extra cm would do me good. There are a number of things that are just out of my reach, which is annoying.
Then again, I'm neither tall nor short for a woman and as a rider I benefit from not being either extreme. I can ride a 1.35m pony just the same as a 1.75m horse.

I'd love to be a lot shorter [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm about 6'1 (female) and I'd love to be much, much shorter. I hate being tall. I keep bumping my head everywhere and there's never enough leg room in planes, or trains, or buses.

And finding trousers that are the right size? Forget about it.

yes most of the time [In reply to] Can't Post

but sometimes it would be nice to be a bit taller.. My husband and sons are a lot taller than I am and that's so much easier in a crowd.
