    2 yr gypsy cob - what height will he mature?

    Wow this thread is nearly 5 years old! I posted a few posts up about my 2 year old who stood at 13.1. She is 6 now going on 7 and she never made it past 14.1 but she's very flat withered. Unfortunately though she filled out a bit she isn't very chunky and didn't get big enough for me. So she's...

    Accepting your youngster won't make height

    I've had my traditional cob filly since she was 10 months old. She is 4 next month, I love her to bits and she was going to be my forever horse of a lifetime. However I think I'm going to have to come to terms with the fact that she is too small for me. Measured her today and she is 13.3 at a...

    Tell me about...Snakes!

    I started off with a corn snake. Really good starter snake, very forgiving of mistakes (to a point). Absolutely check out reptile forums there are excellent care sheets on there, I've learnt a hell of a lot from the place. Unfortunately also found out about a lot of other reptiles and now have a...
