I have a Bon Balou filly who just turned 3 this year. She's a May baby, so she still has a couple months before she's 36 months old.
When I bred a different horse, I was forewarned that the sire threw smaller horses out of maiden mares. Thus, my chestnut who was bred from two 16.2hh horses ended up 15.2hh, despite string testing to 16.2hh.
My new mare is out of a maiden mare, but that mare was 17hh+. My girl currently stands 15.2hh, but string tests to 16.2hh.
I'm hoping to hear from other people how much growing their Bon Balou babies did in the years 3-5, and if 15.2hh is normal for this age? From what I've seen, Bon Balou youngsters typically end up 16.1hh-16.3hh. Also, if they've had experience with a Bon Balou baby out of a maiden mare.
Also, she was a twin. Does anyone know if being a twin sometimes stunts growth?
Thank you!
