Hi Everyone,
I was hoping you might be able to put my mind at ease...
My maiden 16.1/2 ISH mare had a foal back in October to a Trakhener colt who stands at 16.2/3. The foal is now 7 months old and is currently standing at 13hh & is very 'bum high' again.
I had the vet out today for 2nd baby jab & as I was leaving, I overheard him chatting to my Yard Owner & saying that he thought she might make 15hh... I had high hopes that she'd be bigger than that & am now wondering if he was being serious or winding her up (he has quite a deadpan sense of humour). I was so shocked that I just kept walking & didn't stop to ask, which I now think I should have done.
Does anyone have a rough ballpark idea about how I can work out how big she'll be? I really wanted her to be big enough for me, but my feet would drag on the floor if she was 15hh
Thanks lovely people,
Jen
