Ammit just added heights to the game last week. So any horses born or created before then defaulted to 14 hands or 16 hands depending upon whether they are a pony or warmblood.

Ammit stated it possible to breed warmbloods over 17 hands and I've heard of a couple being born from crosses with at least one parent 16.1 hands or taller. I don't think it's possible to get a 17 hand horse from a 16 hand x 16 hand (or less) cross, from what I've seen. The 17+ hand horses won't look any bigger in their image than a 16.3 hand horse, as they just don't fit, but it's possible to breed them. We don't for sure know the minimum and maximum heights possible in the game, though it was mentioned we can breed ponies down to 12 hands.

Horses bred or created since heights were implemented can have a range of heights, though heights of lined horses are based upon those of their parents. If you want to breed 17+ hand Warmbloods, I suggest using the create a horse page to create some Warmbloods that are 16.1+ hands and breeding them together. Those will likely give you the best odds of breeding on the larger end.

Some of the discussion has taken place on the game's Facebook group too. If you aren't already a member there, here is the link. I suggest following it and the forum regularly.

@CLynnRose Wowzers is a great name for him. He certainly does fill up the image frame, doesn't he. He's gorgeous! I hope he passes his testing.

Poor guy looks cramped in that little frame. He's gorgeous :)

Congratulations!

I've had horses that have caused that reaction. Once upon a time I bred a spontaneous brindle colt, and held my breath. It didn't do any good, since he ended up a gelding, but it was still a remarkable event in my HAJ career.

@CLynnRose I think you can paper them as foals? I have always papered my foals. It doesn't change over time for studs like it does for mares.

Stallions can be papered as foals because their papering is based off of their stats. Mares have to have three living foals because their papering is based off their foal's stats.

Wow! She's beautiful! Congratulations!

@lomcdev Oh, that's too bad. Still, like you say, she is great to look at! I got another 17 hand foal the other day. I'm looking forward to breeding her to Wowzers and see what happens. http://www.huntandjump.com/horse.php?horseid=3435232
