just wondering what people's opinions are on what height Finn might make?

he is 5 in June, ISH - so good dose of ID in him although he is a lw type. He doesnt seem particularly bum-high to me , although i do think he has a lot of filling out into his frame to do and of course, muscling up. He doesnt have a huge amount of bone either.. 7 3/4 inches at the front.

I relented and went and bought a proper measuring stick yesterday, with a spirit level and eveything:D:.... and he is at the moment a very good and full up 15.3hh. (maybe a faction over if im honest)

id actually be really happy if he didnt grow anymore!:o

I don't know much about the growth habits of id, but looking at the pics and based on him being 5, I'd say height wise your pretty much there. Nice horse btw!!
 
It's unlikely he will grow any taller unless he was very backward and underfed when he was younger, which looking at that pic doesn't appear to be the case.

I owned a Welsh D a few years ago that didn't grow at all (in height) aged 3 to 6 when I sold him; the D's have a reputation for being a late maturing breed but this one was shown from a yearling to aged 3 so was well fed and rugged.
