hi we are thinking of getting a grey new forest pony and shes nearly 6 but i dont know whether she will keep growing any more ??
they say shes about 14hh but she looks smaller than that ??

these are some pctures of her, the girl in the picture is about 5f 3. so do you think she will grow anymore ?? and what sort of height do you think she really is ??

thanks

Photos haven't come out, but at 6, height wise I wouldn't say there was any growth to be done now, more filling out than actual growth.

Nope cant see....Nf's tend to finish in height around 5, and fill out up to about 7. Filling out can sometimes make a horse seem and feel much bigger.

My friend has a 9 year old NF, who is 13.2 and due to muscle, looks at least 14hh.

My 5 year old NF is just under 14.2 (by about half inch) and looks about 14hh as she is not fully fit and needs topline and general muscle and filling out.....

Hi,

My NF is rising 6 and 13.2hh at withers, and almost 14.hh at rump. I hope she doesn't stay this shape and balances out. I too would have thought they would have finished growing in height by 4.5 years old.

Anybodies guess.
