Well eddie has grown so fast and is standing at approx 14.2!!! his dam is 14.2h and his sire 15.2h so i was hoping for a small hack when i bred him, it all depends how fast they grow. some put in a growing spurt then slow up, others grow very steadily. I am hoping eddie will start slowing up now but it is looking like he will finish up around 15.2/3 like his sire!!!

Hi there,
As a rough guide, if you add 2 hands to the yearling height, you will get the approximate adult height. My warmblood yearling was just over 14hh last year so I'll expect hime to reach a good 16hh at maturity. He is currently just over 15hh as a 2 year old so he's on his way there!!
Not sure if this works for ponies though???
Hope that helps
:-)

My boy is 13hhs now and he is 14 month old.

I am excited to see what he'll make.

[horseyll81]

I would have a guess at a good 15hh!!

My Yearlings sire was 14hh, dam was 13.1 and hes 13hh now, he was born with legs as long as giraffes.

mine is approx 12.1 now - can't see him getting anywhere near 14hh, his legs just aren't long enough!

[martinetaylor02]

My boy is all legs i think!

His daddy was 13hh ands his mum 14.2hh buts her lines said she should of been alot bigger!

this was him a a day before his 1st birthday

14.1hh 13 months old!

Hopefully 15.2!

martinetaylor02 and puzzle your yearlings are little stunners.

I have 3 two year olds who are all to make between 16hh and 16.1hh. My two fillies were 14.1 1/2hh last year as yearlings but my gelding was 14.3hh. I think my boy will be closer to 16.3hh as there is quite a big difference in height between them now but my girls seem to be progressing at the same rate and will probably make height.

This is one of my yearling colts who is standing approx 13.2hh now he is make 14.2 (dam 13.3hh sire 14.2hh) must actually put a stick on him as its only a guess!!!! These were taken Tuesday.......
He has been bred for the dressage arena and will be kept entire.

Ok my section d colt is sixteen months and out of 15 hh parents he stands at a good 14.3...any ideas how big he will make, we were hoping for 15.1

My yearling stood at 14h his sire is 14h hands and his mum is 15.1, he was two in may and he is measuring 15.2 and still growing what a brut!!!

[hatman]

Wow what beautiful yearlings you all have you should do a 2year old posting next year so we can see how they are progressing.

I have one yearling who is currently 14.2, Mum 16hh and Dad 14.2 and my other yearling is about 14hh, Dad 15.2 and Mum 16.1hh!!

[Cobbler]

Mine is about 14.3 now at 15 months, mum was 15HH and Dad was 15.2 so goodness knows how big he will make !

[pattendown]

[shamrock]

This is my yearling filly she is a sec d x traditional cob her dam is approx 14.1 and her sire is 13.3 she is standing at 13.3 now so am wondering how big she will make any ideas?

[hairyhack]

Just to mix it up a bit how big were they as foals? I've bred my first one this year and can't decide if she's going to take after her 15.2 mum or 14.2 dad!

[brindlerainbow]

My sec B filly is 12hh and she is 15 months

Im glad im not the only one with a massive over grown giant, it makes it worse as i dont feed him anything except grass and hay and th odd hard feed if the grass is rubbish! he is going to be a monster!

My yearling colt second on the right in the pic should make 15`1 the black mare on his left is 14`1 and the other two girls are 13`2
