[RC] Height of growing horses - k s swigart

Chris Paus said:


I've got a 15 month old colt that "gulp" measures 16" from
the knee to coronet band. Gees. And he's a purebred Arab.
His sire is 14.1H and dam 13.3H. And no, I don't feed him
steroids.


If you don't want him to grow too tall, feeding him steroids would be
the best thing to do.  If you want him to grow taller, cut his balls off
and lower the steroids in his system even more.

Steroids, while they increase muscle mass, also stunt growth of the long
bones.
