Answer
Hi Lewis,
          If you are breeding for a pony then you want to make sure that the stallion is no taller then 14.3 hands. If, you are wanting to breed her to a larger horse so that you get a foal that is taller then the height should not be any bigger then 15.2 hands. The stallion does contribute to the size of the foal. Mares can have problems if they are bred to a much bigger stallion. If you stay at 15.2 and below you should have a foal that is the correct size for her to carry.
