Hello everyone. I have a curious question. As I was measuring my young warmblood (3.5) hoping that she keeps growing lol. Today she measured true level 15.3 at the withers and 15.3 at the croup (🤞 she isn't done). She still has years to go, and her withers haven't "popped yet". But it got me wondering. For those with adult horses and like to take measurements like me. Are the withers taller than the croup in uphill horses? If so by how much, a half inch or inch? Anyone have measured their horses and found they are true level wither/croup like mine is currently?

Seems when googling finished uphill horses may actually be level and I'm wondering what it's like out in the wild with everyone here and their experience.
