Wow she has really grown and looks lovely.

When I last measured Moses he was 13.2, however I think he is a bit bigger now, he is REALLY bum high, I am hoping he does not get much bigger. He already takes up your legs so if he gets bigger my feet are bot going to clear the saddle!

Thank you. Have you got any pictures of Moses?

Her dam is full TB (15.3 hh) and sire is German WB (16.1). She is a very dark buckskin. I can see why you ask about the Exmoor. I have also had people ask me if she's a Connemara. She certainly looks more pony than the horse she actually is. :D

a pony type in horse size will be even better looking in a couple of years than she is now :)
 
Aww, she's turned into such a pretty little horse. Haven't read entire thread, so sorry if you've already answered but what breed is she?

I have no idea what height my 4 year old is. I'm going to say at least 15hh, I usually think he's around 15.2hh but I always think he's bum high (bum at 16.hh in my mind) but when you step back he's pretty level with high withers.

Some days I look at him and think he's tiny, then others I think yeah, nice height for me. I always hoped he'd reach 16hh. He's a ISH x Selle Francais x TB x Holsteiner x Trakehner so not sure if he's fully grown or not!

My just 18mth old has seemed to zoom up this summer, shes gone from a 5'3/5'6 rug in may to a whopping 6' rug already and is already over 15hh at the withers and is bum high, I can't actually see over her bum anymore. Shes had no food other than grass over summer. She doesn't even resemble a yearling to look at. My farrier laughed and said did I want a 17hh er as that's he thinks she will make. Not funny for a 5' person whose currently riding a 13.2hh!!

My gelding is exactly the same as yours! He's 18ish months too and when I last measured him he was 15.1 and 15.3 on his bum... Although I'm 5'5, I DO want a 17hh er!

If he's got ID in him then he probably won't stop growing until he's 7! :) My girl is TB x WB. Both parents are around 16hh so theoretically she should be too, but she isn't going to be.

And wondering what colour tack. I'm edging towards black, but not absolutely sure. She's a strange colour like a cross between a dark dapple grey and a dark brown.

She looked like a sooty buckskin to me at first glance, similar to my buckskin mare.

She has done well over the summer and looks super now, I am suffering slightly from stable doorway envy, I love those arches :)

Tack colour, brown, always brown :) My bridle is two tone. I would go for the darker shade if I had an English bridle.

Looking good,you will be very very unlucky if she does not make 15.1 she might make a little more.

I don't want a 17hh er, 15.2hh is the biggest I want and am perfectectly happy on a 13.2hh sec c, even more soo after the nasty tumble we had out on a hunt ride on Sunday when he put a leg down a hidden ditch at a canter and we went flying!

I've given up hoping mine will grow :( Hes about 14.1hh at the front and 14.3hh at the back. Hes been that way for a year and hes now rising 5yr old so I reckon thats it. I'm stuck with a croup high midget :lol:

Don't despair yet. My 6 year old has just gone through a pretty big growth spurt. I haven't measured him properly but he's gone up nearly two rug sizes in the space of four months and is very noticeably bigger!

Wagtail, your little mare is just lovely. What a beautiful face! :)

So maybe havana then? What a beautiful head your horse has. I'm loving the running plait.
 
Lovely horse Wagtail.

My almost 2 1/2 year old is standing at 14'3 at the wither and close to 15'1 at bum, her mum was 14'3 ish welsh cross but her dad was 17hh cob X clyde type :O

What height do you think she will make?
 
I have an overgrown 3yo! Was meant to make 16.1 but is 16.1 easy now and still growing. I am only 5'4.

I can see why. She's beautiful and has really matured since you got her.
