Andalusian filly height guess - not sure if this is the right place?

[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!

My experience is that you can count on 3 to 4 more inches between ages 2 and 3. And 1 to 2 inches more once they start saddle training and “pop” a wither (i.e. strengthen their core enough to be able to lift the back). Caveat is that I do not have any experience with Spanish horses, so ymmv.

I think string test tends to overestimate, but I’d guess she’ll make 16.2. My gelding was 16.1 at 2.5 and hit 17h

What about a 14 month old RID colt that sticks at 15.1hh? And how does this “string test” work?

My Andalusian I got at a 2 year old and was 14.3. Shes now about 3.5 and sticks at almost 15.1. I’m guessing as she fills out and keeps growing she will hit 15.2-15.3. Her dam is 14.3 and sire was 15.1 because she is already 15.1 I’m thinking shes going to grow a couple more inches. I would guess he would reach 16.2 if not grow more.
