How big are/were your 2 year olds? <<pics>>

[Vickijay]

Just a quick musing and sorry its probably been done before!

Mine is growing like weed. She is 2 years 4 months. She is over 16.1 and I just bought her a 6'6 rug which fits but not much spare room for growing into!

Here's a picture of her when she was around 2 (maybe a bit earlier)

On the flip side I measured her sister who is 4 and only a smidge over 15h! I don't care though as I think she's cool...

Hopefully she will grow another 3" by the time she's done!!! <rollseyes>

So how big are yours at 2 (or were they if they are grown up now) and how big should they be (or are they!) in the end?

Mine's 2yrs 5months and 16.2 at the whither, but a good 2 inches higher behind. Still as ribby as the yearlings, but daren't feed him anything other than hay - Dam 16.2 sire 16.1 wasn't supposed to be this big!
My other one however is 2yrs 3months and only 14.1 - dam 14.2 sire 16.2 think she'll end up around 15hands not the 15.2 I was hoping for, was a small foal and has grown pretty evenly, could do with giving her a few inches from the other one!

 

[zizz]

Oh and my 5yo was 14.3 at two and is now just shy of 16hands

 

[stencilface]

My sisters was about 15.3 and a half at two I think, and is now 16 and a half at three.

My friends mum has a 2yo who is 17h!

 

[dressagecrazy]

Mines just 16.1hh at 2 1/2. She's stopped growing atm so im hoping she will go to at least 16.3hh.

This is her at the begining of Sep, the chap running her is over 6ft.

My WBxTB mare was about 14.3 at 2 years old. About 15.3 at 3 years old and at just turned 5 is now about 16.3. Her dam was 15.1 and sire 16.1.

 

[whisp&willow]

Well i have to say, yours are all just too bloomin' big!

Willow was 2 in june, and the last time measured (two or three months ago) was only 14.1.

As long as she stretches to 15.1/15.2 i'm happy... no bigger (but i dont see that being an issue!) she is pba x sports horse.

Rowan was 14.1hh when I bought him at 2 years 4 months.
He is now 15hh at 5 years and 5 months.

My boy would have been around 16 hands at this point. He is 3 past July and now standing at just under 17 hands! Mum was only 15.3 and dad 16.1 so he has also grown too big and still growing as bum up again !

 

[little_Christmas_monkey]

mine is 2 yrs 6 months ID x he is just a smidge over 16 hh am hoping he will be 16.3/17 hh ..he's still a little bum high and built like a tank i swear he looks half hippo lol
his mum is 15.2hh tb x and sire is 17 hh RID

 

[Lgd]

Fly is standing almost 15.2hh at 2½ and should make around 16.1hh. He is entire so hopefully it will knock a bit of height off. She says hopefully, probably in vain, as his Mum grew nearly 4" after the age of 4yo!

 

[cblover]

My Teddy is 2yrs 4 month. His withers are 15.1 and his bum is 15.3. He's in a 6'6" rug and heading into a size bigger. He's clyde x cob and very well built! I bought him with the hope he'd make approx 15.1 or 15.2....and of course he's that now! lol I'm hoping he'l be no bigger than 16hh at maturity.....but at this rate who knows!

 

[snopuma]

We have a 2 year old on the yard and he is just under 17hh lord only knows how big he's going to be! mum was 16.3hh and dad 16.2hh he has obviously been standing in a growbag!

 

[TelH]

My gelding is a tiddler compared with everyone else's. He's 2yrs 3 months and has reached the lofty height of 10.2hh

 

[liannexsx]

Mines was around 15.3 at 2, is just under 16.2 at rising 4. I'm hoping for no more growth but maybe 16.3?

 

[Vickijay]

Mines just 16.1hh at 2 1/2. She's stopped growing atm so im hoping she will go to at least 16.3hh.

This is her at the begining of Sep, the chap running her is over 6ft.

My girl was 15.2hh at 2, she's now 4 and has finished growing at 15.3hh. Her younger sister was 15.2hh at 2 and at three, in the space of a month (straight after she went to the trainer) she shot up to 16.2hh. They were full sisters, same upbringing. Go figure!

Mine has just turned 18 months and is 15.3hh and bum high....!

My mare was 15.2 on her 2nd birthday.

my wb is currently 2 yrs 4 months so just over two is standing at 16.2 hopefully stopping around 17 mark or smidge over has knees like dinner plates and croup is still about 2-3inches high big lad but beautiful dun although is resembling a dirty polar bear at the mo and praying his head stops growing and ears dont grow any bigger lol think he was crossed with a rabbit in his breeding he he

 

[SpottyTB]

Stormygale - sounds gorgeous, any pics? My warmblood at 6 months has knee's and hocks like dinner plates - Huge!!!

 

[Christsam]

Stormygale - photos please! My WB is now rising 4, 16.1 hh and still has dinner plate knees and hocks!!!!

 

[Alexart]

My little friesian gelding is rising 2 and I roughly measured him today, although the measuring stick is obviously going to eat anything that moves!, so allowing for alot of wriggling he's about 15.2Hh and his full brother is 17Hh at 4 so I expect him to be following suit!!!

 

[noodle_]

I own a midget....



shes 14.1ish atm but bum high! im hoping she will make around 15hh! (dads 14.2 stocky but dont know how big her dam is...i think around 16hh total guess tho)

shes two btw

 

[Liane]

I measured my 18 month old and he is 15hh but he is very leggy still, I was hoping he would be around 16hh but everybody keeps telling me he will be a bigger!

 

[The_snoopster]

Same head as mine!!

If he looks as smart as yours in a dressage arena in a couple of years I will be well pleased

I had a filly that was 14.3hh at 14 months at the wither but was taller at the rump! Sadly we lost her at that age toobut I reckon she would have been a good 15.2hh + at 2. My friesian gelding was 16.1 at 2yrs, 16.3 by the time he was broken in as a 3.5yr old and now stands 17.2hh at 8yrs,I had to sell him at age 5 as he was just far too big for me as I'm only 5ft 1"!!
