I am curious about what folks think of using the
stifle as sort of a general measurement to mature height of horse?
I have tried elbow measurements,and knee
measurements....and the middle of knee to ground indicates I should
have
18h horses! I just can't seem to find the exact
middle of the knee on all horses.
But there is a dip or dimple at the stifle that I
can find pretty accurately. Now, hind legs and hocks have different angles, but
my horses are fairly consistent angles and I am comparing them against each
other.....
Reason I am doing this is to attempt to guess
mature size on 17 month mustang filly. Here are some measurements on
mature horses.
16h ARab/Walker age 4 gelding measures 39" to
ground from top edge of "stifle dimple"
15.1 Arab age 15 measures 37"
15.2 mustang mare age 6 measures 38"
the filly sticks at 14.2 at age17mos....and her
stifle to ground is also about 38"....is it reasonable to predict she may
his
