Measured my little man last night and he measured 14/14.1hh at the withers and 14.2hh on his bum, he is 11 months old. TBXISH, dam is 15.2hh and not sure about sire's height. Was told he would make 15.2hh maybe 16hh. People at the yard pass comment that he definatly won't stop at 15.2hh. I know thoroughbreds mature quicker but only being half TB he seems to be shooting up :p

So place your bets :D lol really, what do you all think?

My rising 5 filly WBxID was 14.1hh at 13 months and is currently at about 16hh so I'd guess yours would be shooting up there with her! Thanks for voting on my poll :)

i would hazard a guess at 16 hh + at maturity which will be around 7/8 yrs old. dont force feed the growth allow him to grow on long stem fibre. and be prepared for the lanky looking thin growth spurt, at 2 and 4. but you can keep him handled and mannered at all times. watch him grow, at his speed. there is no rushing maturity!
