How much did your connemara grow?

[basilcob]

I've left a deposit on a lovely 13.2 connemara pony today. She is almost 3 years and they think she'll make 14hh... I know every pony is different and feed / care can have an influence but would be interested to hear from any other connie owners and how much their ponies matured from 3 years. Many thanks

I got my lad as a yearling he was about 13.2 hh, he grew until he was about 7yrs and is now 15.2hh not bad considering his sire was only 13.3hh

Wow that's good going! So she should grow a bit more then

VERY interested in this thread. I'm due to buy a 3year old Connemara due to begin backing April. She's currently 1m,40cm so still some growing but dont know how much. No help to OP and sorry to hijack thread but hope to become friends with you

Haha! No problem - me too!

I bought my 4 yr old at 13.2hh (he was graded class 1 so had to be measured by a vet). He will be 7 in April and stands at 14.1hh and is recently a little bum high so hoping he evens up and stops growing!

Oh that's positive news. I was hoping she'd make 14hh at least. Thanks for posting

Hi all, i bought my connemara when he was 2 and he was 14.1 he is now nearly 7 and is a good 14.2h but filled out lots last year giving the impression he is bigger but when measured he is not.
