Wrong forum - you want Tack RoomHi! So my boy is 14.2 at the moment, he’s going to be turning 3 at the end of March, I was just wondering how much bigger do you think he may get? Or will he stay the same? I’ll be happy if he stays the same height at that is my ideal, but if he got bigger that would be amazing!
Picture below of the amazing boy
...........use the string test - search on here for how to do it. It's been broadly accurate (+ or - 2cm) for all the youngstock I've bred over the years.
Hopefully this photo is better, my photo of him with an actual camera was too large, I should have looked!
That’s lush! Thank you for responding, if he doesn’t grow I’ll still be happy with his height, as my loan pony is only 13.3, the waiting game is exciting. Unfortunately he didn’t have the best start in life. So I know that plays a big part in it, but hopefully with him living his best life now it’ll change that
Thank you for responding, I’ve actually got measuring tape for the string test actually, just reminded me
I’ll have to get it out and use it and have a lookAhhh I’m new to this so I’m not sure where to put it! Thank you for respondingWrong forum - you want Tack Room
That’s fab! How big was he compared to now?
I’ll be very happy! As my loan pony that I have now (and haven’t got the heart to give her back and let her go, being together now for nearly 3 years
) is only 13.3! So he’s almost a full hand bigger than her, but you wouldn’t think so with her attitude, how pushy and mean she is to our small herd Thank you! I should have looked properly before posting! But here he is
and also I’m new only joined yesterday! It was the first to pop up so I just posted it, if I post anything else I’ll definitely put it on there hahaThank you, he’s honestly the best! He didn’t have the best life before I bought him, he’s coming along slowly but surely ! He’s really come a long way, from a unhandled feral 2 year old to the most loving, laid back and trust rising 3 year old ever! Love, time and patience has just proved everything
I love him to pieces

Very certain he’s had his teeth checked and the person I got him off said he got vetted, they confirmed his age as well as my farrier coming to me as well! Yes we are due to worm our herd soon! He have good grass at the moment even with this horrible winter! Has unlimited and gets feed as well

Thank you for responding! I’ll have a look
Unfortunately I don’t know the breeding of him, it doesn’t say in his passport, but I’ve been told many things that he may be, a thoroughbred cross, cob cross, stand bred cross (which I doubt as he hasn’t got any gaits like them) even have been told that he may have a smidge of Arab? (But I doubt that as well) yes that’s what I’m doing with him too, with the ground work as you’ve stated above. I’m not going to rush him at all and take my time with him, I’m in no rush, just loving and caring for him. Introducing him to various things, we’re loving inhand walking in our area at the minute, we just concurred puddles
second time round and he was a saint! The roller and saddle was just part of one of many desensitisation work I’ve done with him recently, the closest thing I’ll be doing with him when the weather gets better, is just leaning over his back. As well as mouthing him, he’s got many years to go yet so I’m in no rush, hopefully the more inhand walks in the summer now, will help build his muscles for when I do decide to lightly back him. Haven’t even got a saddle for him yet, I want him to be a baby for as long as possible She’s beautiful! She has such a lovely face and kind eyes
it’s more his height I was intrigued with than his age, as I know his age already, just fun having to take a guess and see what he’ll turn out like height wise. I’m happy if he stays the same or bigger, just interesting to see how much he will change
