2 year old Andalusia filly is 15.3 - good height prediction?

[EquiDIvaRN]

Hey Guys! I’m new and this is my first forum post, so forgive any mistakes! (and please direct me to the correct forum if I’m in the wrong one. I haven’t had a chance to explore too much.)

have a 2 year old Andalusian filly (turned 2 on April 1 of 2018) and I just sticked her at 15.3 ½ …(yes that 1/2 " is super important! Lol!), and I’m wondering at what a good guestimate of her end size would be? Her dam is 16.3 and Sire is 16.2 I believe. I’d love her to reach a solid 16.2+! She string tested between 16.3hh and 17hh, but she’s my first Andalusian and first super young horse I’ve ever had (bought her when she was 6 mos old).

Any input would be welcome!

Thank you!

Those are some taller Andalusians for sure. What’s her breeding?

Mine are all under 15.3 but I wouldn’t complain if they were taller. I’d be surprised to see a 17hh Andalusian. I know some people are breeding them taller, but wow.

I’d guesstimate 16.2-16.3 if your facts are correct.

@CanteringCarrot Hi! Thank you for your response! She’s definitely a leggy thing, that’s for sure. I’ve attached a PDF of her breeding. [ATTACH]n10190146[/ATTACH] I know the breeder that has her sire breeds bigger Andalusians; most of her stock ends up 15.3 - 16.3.

When do Andalusians typically reach full growth maturity? Everything I’ve researched says around 5-7 years old - typical for the stockier, more baroque breeds. But again, my direct experience with the breed is limited. I love to hear input/advice from others! Thank you!
