- Using the string test to find out if Fatty will grow any taller.
* use a piece of string to measure from ergot to shoulder - swing it up towards the withers to see how high the withers are projected to be....i.e. the horse height
* use a tape measure to measure from the centre of the knee to the coronet band. If your tape measure shows 13 inches, the is equivalent to 13hh etc. Животные
Brilliant :)
she's a wonderful mare! and very tolerant of me :)
The second one didn't look like mid knee it looked like it was over the knee.
Probably my wishful thinking measuring wise - she was supposed to make 14.2 (she's 13.1 on a good day!) so sometimes I over compensate to make myself feel better 🤦🤣
Do you pit the rope in the air or by the body till wither?
Once a horse/pony gets to a year only, the length of their legs is virtually adult height - sounds weird and unlikely but according to everything I've read it's true :)
