Will she grow anymore?

[NicoleS_007]

As title really. Shes a 4yr ISH (IDxTB), measuring 16.2hh atm. My vet vetted her in Jan and then whilst vacc her in feb said she had grown!! I didnt notice tbh!! She looks pretty level or even a tad wither high, so im inclined to think (hope ) she isnt going to grow anymore just fill out!! But i could be wrong?!

OH and I bought our tb x id last summer as a three yr old.
He was 16.1 then, now he's 16.2 and a bit.
I expect him to finish up 16.3ish.
Sire is lightweight 16.1
Dam is a 16h idxtb but chunky.

So who knows????

Yes.

I've not known a 4yo yet that didn't grow at least an inch, sometimes several, before reaching adult height.

Some examples:

13hh at 4yo, finished 13.3hh
13.2hh at 4yo, finished 14.1hh
13.3hh at 4yo, now 14hh and only 5yo so time yet
14.2hh at 4yo, finished 15hh
16hh at 4yo, finished 16.3hh

Beautiful horse...

my Appy was the opposite... she stood 16hh at 3 years old and never grew another inch... shes 13 now...

She's beautiful.

My mare grew and grew as a 4 and 5yo, it was her favourite hobby!

Thanks, i do think shes rather pretty although im not a coloured fan I like this side of her better than the left side, but shhh dont tell her she might take revenge and throw me off

My last 4yr was a wee Tb ex racer and didnt grow but there ment to mature quicker than others, as far as im aware anyway!! But she does seem more gangly in many aspects compared to the Tb.

Dancing Queen - Thanks 17hh, I hope not!! If she does il pack her off to you
