I've been saying that my youngest took 7
years to start looking like a mature
horse. Couldn't get anyone to
believe
it.>>>>>
My retired
horse Oz (3000+ miles ) was a big tall, big boned horse. He was started at
4 years old with yahoo 25 milers (we didn't know any better in 1984) and had a
very sucessfull career. He grew an inch in his 6 year old summer - the
same summer he started doing 100s.
