When do WBs stop growing?

[trundle]

Just wondered, really. There is a rather lovely one who lives at our yard, i think he is 5 this year and I could swear he has grown a fair bit taller since Christmas. I think he is about 17 or 17.1hh now (he is definitely taller than the 16.3hh Moose). I think he is a sweetie, but was wondering how much bigger is he likely to get !!?

I've always been told that they grow until 7-8 so he could end up being really huge

Not soon enough!!! Warmbloods can grow on till there 6 / 7. (which fills me with joy since my 3 yr old is 16.1 already....)

Oh my word. We're going to need a bigger mounting block, then....

Bought Fleur - Hann x TB at 5 1/2. She was just under 16 hands. She then proceeded to grow to 16.3 and changed from a looking like a irish TB to a very large WB shape.

Whoops - I am under 5'

Mine was 15.1 last May as a 2yr old (turned 3 in the June) now 15.3 (now 4), his sire is 17.3 but his mum was a TB but not sure how big she was, think she was only a small mare.

I personally don't think my own horse will get that much bigger from looking at his frame....although it would be nice if he did finally mature at around 16.2 by the time he gets to 6 or 7.

seen everyone says I've got long legs and look big on a 17.2!
