Any idea's how big my yearling will be?

[opal06]

Hi everyone!

Im just wondering if anyone has any idea on how big my little filly will make. She is IDxTB x American Quarter horse, she is 17 months old now and is standing at about 13.1hh at wither and 13.3hh at bum, so very bum high at the min. Dam is 15.3hh and sire is 14.1hh.

Any suggestions welcome, I know it is hard to tell but just wondering if any one has had similar experience?

ps have attached a piccy of her at beginning of october.

Many Thanks

Mines 15 months old and currently 14 hands give or take. Hes out of a 14.2hh mare by a 17.2hh stallion. He was expected to make 14.2hh by his breeder, I think its more likely to be 16.2hh the way hes going

A rough guess is supposed to be 2 hands on the yearling height. So with yours being a bit older maybe add 6 inches, so 14.2hh to 15hh?. But its how long is a piece of string kinda question really.

That's the same as my boy at 19 months he's a good 15.2 to his wither and 16hh already to his bum, I expect him to make 16.2.

I was thinking 14.2h - 15h too

Glad know one has said 14hh lol as she would be smaller than both parents!! 14.2hh-15hh would be perfect for me.
