Bum high....how big at fully grown?

[tangosmum]

Just measured my 3.5 year old baby boy. He is 14 hands at the withers and
14 hands 1.5inches at his bum. He appears very croup high at the moment.

How big do you think he will finish?

I reckon 14.3hh.
This based on his front end catching up with his rear and him being only 3.5 years old and will prob grow another inch or two.
Depending on breed, he may even grow a bit more and make 15hh, its not uncommon for welshies to grow 2/3 inches after this age for example.
It sounds like he's going through quite a growth spurt at the moment, maybe his last one, but they still creep up the odd inch or two over a long period of time after they've had the last major growth spurt, eg. a slow creep from 4-7 x

Thats interesting, he is a gypsy cob and my first youngster. I have been led to believe he may not stop filling out until he is 6? So I will watch with interest!

Any more guesses/ ideas?

No suggestion to be honest!

Mine is 2.5yrs old (just) Thoroughbred and is currently 16.1hh so I imagine he's going to be enormous!!
