how tall

[gwniver]

my 4year old is just about to turn 5 !
he is about 14.3 hh and i sting tested him and he came up as 15.2/3hh
is that crazy ?? or do you think he can make that height ??i am really hoping he will make at least 15hh because i am 5ft9!!
how tall do you guess he can grow ??
THANKS

I cant give you answers but my anglo is the same age and height and I was wondering if he would grow any more! Whats the stimg test??? Ive heard of measuring the canon bone thing bt I think my boy will always be leggy with breed. You do hear freak stories of horses having a late growth spurt and turning into giants! Lol

He does look quite immature still so I think even if he doesn't get taller he will thicken up and take up your leg better. Must try the string test on my rising 5yr old. I don't expect her to grow although she is bum high but that could just be her build/breed!
