My friend has just bought one, he's mega cute!!

We think he's around 13.2, his mum was 14.2 and dad 15 hands.

What would you expect him to make? We've estimated he's 13.2 but I suspect slightly smaller although he is very bum high.

Thanks!

As a rough guide you should add 2 hands onto a yearling and 1 hand onto a 2 year old to get final height. As he is rising 2 and 13.2 ish, I would say about 14.3.
I have one exactly the same age and exactly the same height! I've done all the 'string tests' etc to see if I can work out how big she will be and she comes out as 14.3 as well. :)

Roughly 14.2hh, but I've a young colt foal roughly 10/11 months old, his mum is about 13.2hh, his dad a clysdale(suspect young colt used on her) and he's 12.2hh,back end a lot higher than his front at the moment,and he comes some traveller friends of mine that bought him and his mum from someone that was selling up, 30 lots,think alot of them for meat. But travellers don't cut their colts and when a mare comes into foal season, if a colt is running with them Hey Presto.;););)
