Ankle knobble to crack at back of knee and back of knee to hip joint (hard to locate under saddlebags) but I found mine so anybody will be able to.

Great thread
Still giggling about 'remarkably flexible pelvis', riding like a weeble and humans not having cannon bones.

16 inches from crack in back of knee to hip, and 13 inches from ankle bone to crack of knee. How tall am I then ?

I'm another EE fan! To me it is logical, makes the most sense and Heather explains it all beautifully- so perfect for me ;D

MichelleP is closer. I am 5ft5 and a half inches !! I have a longer back than I have legs, which means I can fit a pony if needed !

Unfortunately I think I win the stumpiest legs competition... from knobble on ankle to back of knee, 13". From knee to hip joint 12". I am 5' 1". Below I am riding a 14.00hh pony and feel absolutely the right size on him, able to use my legs where they should fit on a horse's sides. Below, riding a 17.00hh horse - looking like a pea on a drum!

Crikey Jen you have such long thighs to your cannon bone length! Are you sure you have measured in the same places as everyone else?
