I don't get H & H anymore so hadn't realised this wasn't listed in the Top 5 threads.
Why on earth not, did they give a reason?

She is so smashing!
My BOGOF was a super friendly coblet from day one ... Have to admit I did overdo with the petting which gave us some problems 5 years down the line, as the horse wants to live in the house and be with us instead of spending time with the other horses! Nothing a rather expensive "holiday" with a pro rider didn't sort out, mind you. She's well chuffed to have a field with horse friends now she knows how real horses live, all locked up and without instant human attention and stuff. It's hard not to love them a little toooo much!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who checked in automatically this morning!....at 5am!
Hope your two girls are well this morning Abbie, and you had some proper sleep last night.

You can do the string test - I have never done it but many do
take a measurement from mid knee to cornet band down the front of the leg, the length in inches is the height in hands.
Edited to add, obviously wait until her pasterns are fully straightened though

From the size of her next to her mum I'd guestimate 16hh

Love the video and super paddock photos, she is too gorgeous for words! And mum Tess so calm and sensible, just a little warning at the start of the vid, and then deliberately walking in front of the camera! She certainly knows her stuff where babies are concerned! Thank you so much for sharing all this with all of us, I can't wait to see little Willow again later today, and jealous of foaly cuddles, as we couldn't/wouldn't touch Willow yesterday.
Will try to post more photos and very short vid if laptop allows!

I reckon she will be well over 15hh Abbie! I reckon 16hh/16.2hh?
The string test doesn't work until they are a year old because of growth plates and stuff I believe, but she is half as tall as mum already so she will be shooting well over her height I reckon

Hi, I've been watching this from the start. I haven't posted before but I just have to say what beautiful girls you have there. I love the way Tess lets you babysit while she gets on with the important job of eating (cobs eh! I've got one myself so know what their priorities are )
and does this mean you'll be keeping bubba?

You have done a great job of keeping us all feeling involved, now we will understand that you need some time for other parts of your life! Good luck with test and your school work! Will look forward to viewing updates as Dolly grows!

Aww Abbie she sounds so adorable, I think I'm in love with her! Daddy must have been one big cob or even a heavy! How tall is Tess? Looking forward to the new thread full of cute Dolly pics
I completely sympathise with you as I've got my GCSEs starting in two weeks, I'm completely stressed out and I don't even have a foal (or even a horse!) to look after every single day! You've been fantastically cool, calm and collected throughout this entire process and I think everyone on here has realised that not all teenagers are bad! Good luck with the A-levels, what are they?

Didn't comment before as couldn't bear the thought of all the email notifications! But been following all the threads since day one and followed your emotional rollercoaster.
Dolly is super and I echo what everyone else said about Tess. She's not my normal 'type' of horse but I've fallen for her hook line and sinker over the past few weeks.
Abbie, you've done a cracking job, and you so deserve to do well in all your exams and driving. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you've tried your best. And nobody's perfect, we wouldn't be us if we were. You have such a sweet outlook on life, Tess and Dolly are very lucky to have you (and vice versa )
Good luck with everything, and I will go back to lurking on your new thread!! :-D xx
