Ditto the thoughts of Wogsterca. I am 5' 10" after a haircut and am gravitationally challenged. I always thought I was about average on the height, though I do look up to many.

I've never like "Clydesdale." I don't like Budweiser, either, so maybe that's the connection.

I wouldn't mind being called a Percheron, but when considering height, maybe our sub-class ought to be suitably diminutive. Maybe someone who knows horses could nominate a breed. American Quarter Horse? Morgan?
