Hi Everyone,
My little lady is just turning 16 months and currently stands at 15hh
Her Dam is a 16.3hh Warmblood and her Sire is an 18.2hh Shire
Do you have any idea roughly what I should be looking at height wise for her when she is fully grown. I should learn to be patient and wait and see but quite simply I cant!
Its very exciting, I have an idea in my head but thought I would ask peoples opinions  |

Now that she's passed a year you can measure from the middle of her knee to her coronet band (front leg) - in a straight line -and convert the inches into hands. For example, our Clydie X measures 16 inches and he is indeed 16hh.
Or the string test - piece of string, measure from the middle of her front fetlock to her elbow. Hold the string at her elbow and twist it up over her wither and measure the gap and add that on to her current height. |
