See how she's grown in 8 months

My 3-yo June baby, who was bought to mature to 15.1 as a 7mo old foal has just hit 16.1 and is bum high (again).

I made the mistake of string testing him earlier in the year and it didn't look good - 16.3 easy.

As I'm only 5' it's rather concerning, especially given the width of him (haven't found a saddle to fit yet!)

I've got all fingers and thumbs crossed that Taylah grows anothr inch (or two) for you Wagtail :)

I think you might be surprised by how much more growing you get!
I bought Roo at 22months and he was about 15.2, maybe just. He was measured last week and is a little over 16.3 at 4.5yrs with so more growing to do

Before, at 22months

Thanks! I hope your boy stops soon!
 
Hi Wagtail, this post should show a picture of Moses I took a couple of weeks ago, he was looking very bum high and was a little sticky behind. You can see how straight his hind legs had gone. I did stop riding him for a bit because he seemed to be struggling. It does not take him long to get over this stage.I think he is aiming high, while I would be quite happy for him to stop now!! ( I hope it works but I can not see pictures at work...:) )

Thanks. Yes it has worked but it's a bit small. He looks a lovely boy. I love his markings.
