Can he still be growing?

[racaille]

Took Sam's rug off this morning and it seemed to me that he has gone bum-high again. He is now six. Can he still be growing? I know nothing about TBs ...

Isn't it 8 for a life height certificate so possibly.

Indio definitely grew at 6 so I'd say yes, it's possible!

Yes possibly Rac, he was skin and bone when I got him and racing fit so all his food was going into training, it took a good year to get upholstery on him and all he did was eat. So its no surprise that he is still growing- what is he now? he looked around 15.1 when I saw him and felt bigger to ride and he was definitely under 15 when I had him so he had grown since leaving me. (So funny-as Im typing this Im smiling at the thought of him- so fond of that boy!So glad he has landed on his hooves with you and the teenager!)

We're lucky to have him Brig, he's such a nice boy (and hugely handsome too )

I haven't measured him for a while but I'd say he looks significantly bigger then Ol Paco, who is about the 15.1 mark. I had to laugh at them this morning as they were larking around in the sunshine: Sam tried to get P to play by biting him on his bum. Well, Paco was having none of it but instead of lifting him bottom at him, he swung his mighty, muscley bum sideways at Sam and caught him on the shoulder. You could hear Sam go oooooph! He nearly fell over! But no harm done.
