New to all of this and wanted to find out what everyone considers the ‘cannon’ bone for measurement sake. I am thinking just at the mid level knee joint (under the top 2 bones of the knee) to the top of the fetlock joint but am not sure this is what everyone else considers/is measuring.
2nd thing is any guesses on how big my new boy will be. Dam is 32”, sire is 34” both have nothing showing on papers that is over 34” but this boy is ALL legs – makes me think tiny Shetland more than mini. (if someone wants to email me / and post pics for me – I’d greatly appreciate it as I still can’t load them)
I don’t own a measuring stick but with a general tape but at 5 days old Tex seems to be 23.5 inches tall and most of the leg is forearm. ‘cannon’ is 5.75 to 6 inches… any guesses on mature size?
