I prefer tall, I like carrying a ladder around with me.
Our unit's basic guidance is to ride a horse you can reliably mount in the
field. This translates to short searchers ride short horses and tall
searchers ride short to tall horses. I have seen a rider over 6 feet and
275 pounds on an Icelandic, and I have seen a girl under 5-3 or so on my
17-2 Percheron. Both looked strange.
