How big were your foals at 6months old and at 3

[Alyssa_hercules]

My foal is 6 months old soon to go on 7months and he’s 13hh but he’s bum high, I was wondering how big were your foal and how big they got when they matured.
Pictures of my foal ?

Frank ( my avatar) was 13.2 at 6 months, hes now approx 16hds at 3. Reckon we could get a little more growth but not much.My others where all very similar and they topped out at 16.1/2

We have a yearling thats now over 16hds, she was 14hds at 6months god knows how big shes going to get, her friend was 12.2/3 - expected to mature about 15hds

How big are the dam and sire ?

Mine was about 13hh at 6 months and is 15hh now at 3. I think he will end up the same height as his dam- a fraction over 15.1

Is it wrong that I haven’t a clue!
When they are under 15hh my inbuilt height and weight judgement just goes to pot ?

My foal is now 6 months old and about 13.2hh , Dam is 16.hh Sire is 16.1hh
but my foals full brother was almost 16hh at 2, I am hoping mine will be about 16 -16.2hh but bloodlines on both sides have some big horses so could get bigger - It will be interesting to see in a few years time

Can't really help but mine is currently 14.1hh at 5 months and I'm 5ft so if anyone knows what the opposite of a growbag is....

Dam is 15-15.1hh and sire is a 15.3 but the sire himself isn’t at full height and is still growing at 3 and also his dam has been know to throw larger foals

Mine was 13hh at 6months and he’s 15hh at 32 months. I’m expecting him to top out about 15.2 max hopefully. Not fancying having to control a giant Welsh D when I’m 5ft1 lol this is him took this last night


this was him in Dec 2018 as a 13hh weanling

13hands at six months, and very much a wonky donkey. At three 16hands, with still a lot of growing to do.

Absolutely gorgeous mines is a appi cross cob type and his mum is known for throwing big foals

As a rule of thumb I was told to measure my foal's leg from ground to elbow(in inches) and then double that to give the approximate height at maturity.

I did that with all my foals and it wasn't far out. However I am not an expert in comparison to the experienced people on this board.

meant to say at 6 months of age.
