Pipsqueak (Piper if we're being posh and correct) is just that. A pipsqueak.

He's 2.5 years old coloured cob. Currently standing at 14.1hh. Almost. When he stretches.

How big will he make? I'd LOVE it to be 16.2hh but that is somewhat unlikely

I'm tall and he's, well..... not. I'm rather worried he's not going to make the height I initially beleived (which is the reason I bought him!) and it's becoming my obession

And pictures cos he's cute anyways, regardless of height.

He's so LITTLE!!!! Mind you, standing beside a 17hh hunter generally makes everyone feel little.

Very proud of his rosettes (and Kalli's but that's beside the point)

Lots of sleep make you grow big and strong. Good good.

Do you know what height his parents were? I think this will be a good indicator as to whether or not he will grow any bigger:)
 
He so isnt going to make 16.2 am afraid...15 if you are lucky!!
He might be 2.5yrs,and yes a 17hh would make a baby look small,but look at the length of your coblets legs,they aint going to grow,he will now fill out bodywise!!
 
If he doesn's bloody hurry up and grow he will be for sale, so you can have him GinaB :

I should add that those are old photos from early in the spring - he's changed so much since then: has grown two inches and gone all leggy again. And has half his mane chewed out

They weren't really to illustrate the point, but just cos he's rather cute.

ah was going to say, my 14.2 is def sig taller in an ifor than he looks!

15hh maybe (which for most of us is a really nice height

)
 
I'd say around 15hh ish maybe a tiny bit more but defo not 16.2hh. My 15 month old filly is to make 16.2hh and she is 14.2/3hh now!
 
i would say 15hh maybe 15.1hh if you are lucky cobs grow till they are about 5-6 years old i too have a 2 year and 4 months old welsh d and i am obssessd with him gorwing but his bum height is 15hh so we will hopefully get to 15.1hh his full brother and sister are also 15.2hh i bought him with the expectation of hi to mature to 15hh at least.
Is yours not bum high at all?
 
def dont think hes going to be the height you want
