Re: [RC] Fw: Small Horse - Barbara McCrary

We once had a Quarter Horse that grew until he was 6.  Ever since then, I have been aware of this possibility when I estimate a horse's maximum mature height.

Well, I never believed they could grow much after age 4....
 
But a friend bought an Arab/Andalusian cross mare that I rejected at age 5, since she was 14.3....just sticked her recently at age 8 and she is right about 15.2.....
 
Also, my Arab/QH mare, grew to just under 16h in her 6th year (one inch).....I am ready for HER to stop growing!

They can grow well past 5, too.  I bought one last Feb., he measured 14.3 1/2h with a stick and level.  Perfect height.  He was almost 6.  As the year wore on, I swore he was getting harder to get on.  Measured him a couple of months ago with same stick and level...#$%@ horse is now 15.1 1/2h.  Grew 2 inches in less than a year.  I've told him to knock it off, it ain't funny.
