Draft horses can carry much more weight than your average horse. While draft horses can carry more since their sheer size, there are other horse breeds that are built to carry a higher percentage of their body weight.

Not only can a tall rider feel unbalanced on a horse too small for them, but they can risk throwing the horse off balance as well. Each horse is different, and even shorter horses can have a body structure that caters to your height more than a tall horse does.
A horse that is built with a more slender frame can make the rider look taller than they really are, even if the horse is tall. I at one time had a slender quarab who was about 15 HH. I at one point also had a very stocky 14 HH quarter pony. Her stoutness made my 6 ft tall husband look like he fit her fine. Knowing what your full height is will help you to get a horse that fits you the best. Because of this, I recommend looking at horses rather than ponies.
What size horse fits you best? Is there any horse you ride that could take on a little more height if you continue to grow? If so, maybe you need to look for a horse with the same size and build as that one.

Your instructor can help gauge what size horse you need depending on your skill level, height, weight, and growing room.

The first and most accurate way is to use a livestock scale to accurately measure the horses weight. This is the only way to get a true reading. Unfortunately, livestock scales can be hard to find and are very expensive to buy. Measuring a horses weight is most easily done with a weight tape.
These are commercially available and generally pretty cheap. Each weight tape comes with a series of markings. Typically one side is used for measuring height and the other used for measuring weight. Keep in mind that this method is not as accurate as weighing your horse.
The results can be — lbs off even for people experienced using the method. TIP: Take multiple measurements. Your readings should be fairly close to each other. If not, practice your technique until you can reliably get the same weight measurement. A horse weight tape is just basically transferring the calculated weight method onto a measuring device.
