hey, Measured my exmoor filly today. she is 3 in a few weeks and she was 12hh in front and just under 12.2hh behind.

just wondered what size she is likely to make as she just keeps growing and growing lol.
 
Have you string tested her?

Because the distance from a horse's point of elbow to its fetlock is approximately the same as the point of elbow to the withers, you can use this method to predict height in young horses. Take a leadrope and stretch it from the point of the elbow down to the fetlock. Now that you've got the distance, keep your hand on where the fetlock measurement is (leave the other end on the point of elbow) and bring the leadrope up to the withers. That's about where your horse should mature to.
 
No I haven't but tried it on my other youngster who is now 4 and 15hh and back when i tried it, it said he would make 15.3hh so thats a bit optimistic lol so not completely sure how accurate it is :P
may try it anyway just to see..
