Ok. . .so I bought Sampson when he was 2 months old as you all know and he was weaned WAY too early but I couldn't let him go to someone who couldn't care for him like I could. So, from being mal-nurished he is slightly over at the knee but with propper specialty farrier services you can't even tell. OK I'm at the question now. . . :bgrin He will be officially a year old tomarrow and he measured 30 1/2 inches tall with a regular old yard stick and slightly uneven ground.
His sire is 28.50 inches tall and his dam is 36.50 inches tall and according to my calculations ((adding up and then divinding by two)) he should measure 32.50 inches tall is it possible that he will remain smaller around 31 or is 32 still considered small for AMHA breeders? Sammy will remain a stallion and breed since no other horses in his pedigree have had bad legs, etc. and it is because he was malnurished but once again you can hardly tell.
He is registered AMHR for right now but when I get the money I will transfer him to AMHA as well. He is a Minimal Bay Tobiano with an arrow marking on his butt and high leg markings. Pictured below.
:
Also. . .I have another yearling who is a gelding and measured 27 1/2 inches tall with a sire 31 inches tall and mare unknown height on papers. How high could he reasonably measure??
ONE MORE QUESTION - Sampson still hasn't dropped yet how long will it take?? Thankies!!
PS- These pictures are from earlier this month when Sampson was shedding his winter coat so about atleast 3 months ago if not more.
: And just so you know he looks WAY different and I will be getting updated pictures ASAP!! I've already had people want to breed to him later on when he drops.
Lots of Love,
