Anyone know where to find the foal height calculator....

Looking for the foal height calculator based on canon bone length. Found the one based on age and height but cannot find the other.

This is the one I have - never used it yet - kept it for reference.

Mini Growth Chart

Projected Height 28" 29" 30" 31" 32" 33" 34" 36"

At Maturity

Birth 18.2 18.9 19.5 20.2 20.8 21.5 22.0 23.4

6 months 23.8 24.7 25.5 26.4 27.2 28.0 29.0 30.5

12 months 25.2 26.1 27.0 28.0 28.8 29.7 30.5 32.5

18 months 26.4 27.3 28.1 29.2 30.0 31.0 32.0 33.9

24 months 27.2 28.0 29.0 30.0 31.0 32.0 33.0 35.0

To use the above chart to determine mature height for a foal, measure the height of the miniature foal at a given interval such as birth, 6, 12, 18 or 24 months of age. Located the age interval on the left hand column. Then scroll across the age interval until one finds the height of the miniature foal. Once the height is located scroll up to the top line for mature height of the miniature horse.

Example: If a mini foal is 19.5 inches at birth the mature height of the miniature horse should be 30 inches.

The above chart is intended as a reference only and will have slight variations based on the genetics, nutrition, care, and health of the individual miniature horse foal.

Thanks guys but am really looking for the one that uses the canon bone measurement. Does anyone know where to get this one?

I believe you take the measurement from the center of the knee to the coronary band (band above the hoof). Multily by 4 and add 2" for good measure (some say only add an inch).
