Traditional Cob 3 weeks old to 8 months old! Any guess on adult height?

[Kacey88]

Hello!

My little lady is now 8 months old and stands just under 13hh. Here is her at 3 weeks with her mum:


And 8 months:


She's a very good girl, my last was an Irish Draught cross and this girlie is a lot more chilled.

What a monster though! Anyone guess what height she'll make? Dam is 15.1 and sire is 15.2hh.

Gorgeous!! ?

Search "string test" on here, it's a pretty reliable method of finding out the mature height.

My Traditional foal was about the same size and he’s 15.2 now. Sorry I can’t put photos on but he is huge. His dam was 13.2 and sire was 12.2 !

I love the way her spots are developing as she ages ?

Nothing useful to add about height, just wanted to say what a gorgeous girl, love the pic with her mum ?

Thank you so much! I bought her when she was about a week old I think. Love at first sight! Not used to the hairies, trying to get used to seeing filthy feather ?

Jeepers that is quite the difference! It's nice having them from foals isn't it?

Go onto YouTube & look for "How to do the string test on a young horse".

I’ve loved having him from a foal, he’s 10 now. I’ve known him since he was born and I still can’t believe that he’s mine.

Results! I got a measuring stick for Christmas ? She's 13.1hh, nearly 14hh on her bum.

String test says she'll make 15.2hh. No shocks there I suppose! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.
