Hi all, I know this is an old thread but...just wondering what height your horses are at now and what heights they were at say 9 months old or so?!
I'll offer two of my youngsters as examples. Both are reg Oldenburgs and are at opposite extremes compared to the rest of my youngsters.
9 month old filly. Measured at 14.3hh this morning. Very even growth; slightly more uphill than downhill.
Dam; 16.1hh
Sire; 17hh
Filly expected to make 17.1hh
7 month old colt. Measured at 13hh this morning. Even growth.
Dam; 15hh
Sire; 17hh
Colt expected to make 15.1hh
Wolf's dam is 14.2, sire is 15 hands. He's 14.2 at rising 3, so hopefully still on track for 14.3-15hands which will be perfect for me.
Felix's parents are 15.1ish, and full bro is 15.2. However he's growing like a weed and his legs are long than bro's. He's 14.3 at rising 2, and still looks really immature. Heck knows how tall he'll end up being.
I'll play
Blitz 8 month old cheval de Mérens 145 cm at the front and 150 cm at the back - ish
Mum: Salsa - Mérens (148cm)
Dad: Roka - Mérens (163cm)
Blitz was predicted at 155-157cm, but if it is +2 hands at yearling, then he'll end up bigger than dad (and I'll need a ladder to get on!)
My Filly is 22 months by young 14.2hh 'running free colt' on the new forest out of a 12.2 NF. She is 12.2, ish at the mo - not stood on a hard surface and slightly bum high too. (will do correct measure in due course) Hoping she will get to 13.2. Got her in sept 2010 at 6 months and only 10.2!!
I sold this filly last summer at age 4, and on sale she was only 12.3, and didn't look like she was going to get any bigger. She had a lovely attitude to work, and I miss her. Still wonder where she is now.
Was she fully registered? I could check in the stud book for transfer? PM me if you like.
No, not fully registered as sire wasn't recorded. Her mother was a Farriers Rambler mare. I sold her to a 'nice' family, who then sold her on within 5 weeks to a dealer. There the leads go cold. Hope she is ok. I regret selling so much.
Gracie - 9 months old 14.1h. Dam 16h sire 16.3h. Expected to make around 16.2hds. String tests suggest 16.3hds
Harry - rising 3 16.2hds Dam 15.2hds Sire 16.2hds At 12 months was 14.2. Strung test suggested 16.3hds - wish he wouldnt grow anymore!!
This gives me hope with my "midgit"
Bridgette 9 mths 12.3hh Mum is TB 15.3hh Dad is ID (Avanti Amorous Archie) 16.3hh
Anything over 15.2hh is fine by me, tho worse case scenario i will have a super small hunter!
Okay, here's my update on the two I mentioned in my post back in 2012. The two youngsters are rising 4 years old now. The filly stands at 16.1hh at the moment. She still has a fair amount of growing to do though but I'd say she'll finish out at 16.3hh. The colt (now gelding) is 16 1/2hh and he also still has a bit of growing to do, so he apparently is going to be much taller than predicted.
