I’m picking up foal in a weeks time and he’s barely been handled but I was wondering what height your foals got from 6months to maturity he seems to be in the 13hh to 14hh region (haven’t been able to properly measure) the breeder said he would make 15.2 as both his parents are 15hh and 15.2hh (the dad is 15.2hh but is only 3) but I am thinking that he will make bigger.
Here is a size comparison of the foal and his mum and another mare

Lovely foal. I would guess about 15hh possiblyslightly more. Has he been weaned already, just thinking if he's hardly been handled you might have a job loading.

He’s in the weaning process and I genuinely bought him cause I needed a challenge and something that would make at least 15hh or over I also forgot to say that to dam throws large foals and lastly I will be having professionals help load him and transport him to where he is and I will be making sure he will have breaks on the way to his new home so he doesn’t get to overwhelmed

Unless you’re travelling a huge distance, just load him up and get him home. Will he have a youngster to keep him company when you get him home?

Hello looks lovely, looks to have decent amount of bone too. When he's home and you get the opportunity youll have to have a photo shoot with him, can't get enough foal pics on here!
