Another string test question!

[Denbob]

Having just got D back we've had lots of comments on how he's grown, there's a lot more depth but he's also gone very leggy. Probably a bit of a daft question but would a string test be accurate on a rising 6yo? Last one I did might have overestimated as said he was going to be 17'2hh, he measured at 16'1 before Christmas so thinking that's a little bit unlikely (although it's nice to dream!). Will try and get a proper picture this afternoon and see what people think!

If his breeder is to be believed there's some WB in there and possibly some ID so expecting he'll be quite late maturing.

I know he's lacking a fair bit of muscle but for 6 weeks off he's not looking bad. Any thoughts on whether there's much growing to do?

He looks pretty finished to me, esp as hes 6. I know some do grow on later, but the vast majority dont.
