Adult Height

[Ootasal]

My lad has had a bad yearling year, he was very ill. He is over the worst now and really thriving. He's only 13.1 though and 2 at the end of May. His sire was 14.1 and dam is 14.3 what height should I expect him to make? Has anyone had any that do a drastic amount of growing after 2?

Because he has been ill I would expect him to grow for longer and make between 14/14.2 hh his legs will be fully grown so the string test or length of leg knee to coronet band should work reasonably well
