Hi,

This is something that I was wondering if the answer is simple????

If you have D in the bloodlines, this is the reason?

Hello Paula,

I bought a 5 year old Welsh Cob mare some years ago, and she was 14.3 (vet
measured her when he vetted her). Eighteen months later she was 15 hands and
half an inch - grown an inch and a half. Some cobs take a while to mature and
may continue to grow very slowly up to about 6 or 7.

Hi all,
as I have never bought a horse under the age of 5, I was wondering how much
a cob would gain in height from the age of 3 (as in just turned three) to
being at full height.
I was very recently tempted buy a young 3 year old cob, but as the owner was
(at the time) unaware of the exact height of the cob (gelding) but though
that he should reach 14hh at maturity. Now while a 13-something welshy is
just as lovely as something over 14hh, I would hate to be sited by someone
as being too "big" to ride my Pony - grin.

any thoughts? or is it all dependant on the luck of the draw with genetics
and the height of the parents?

alternatively - when does a welshy generally reach its full potential for
height?


Thanks
Paula
(Still cobless, and sorely tempted to buy _anything_ and not just exactly
what I want :-))
