If it makes you feel better, my 5yr old Shire x Tb is still quite croup high (more than an inch in it, I think) and so is my 4yr old Tb x Wb, by a couple of inches.
My now older Tb didn't level up til she was nearly 6yr old.
Don't worry.

Thanks Shils - he was level when i got him but he keeps shooting up behind! His bum is so well developed compared to the front end too lol. Hopefully i'll be able to post a pic soon, attemting to upload one to photobucket atm

Phew - thanks! I've been stressing myself about it all day! I havent sat on him in ages because i'm still recovering from the break and i keep thinking its going to be like going down a slide when i get back on him lol

TBH you might not even notice the difference. Hope the ankle recovers well. Keep us posted, by PM if you'd prefere.
 
This type won't stop growing fully until about 6/7 years of age, so don't worry, he will even up!
