Yeah, she’s 2. She’ll be 3 in May. One thing about her being shorter, I can lift my western saddle up there when it’s time. I have to struggle to get it up on Winnie, she’s 15.2 or so. Mina might be 14.2 if she stands on her tippy toes.

Personally, I’m with Duchess...I’d like a shorter horse:). Harley is 15.2 I can get on him from level ground, but...I usually look for something to stand on that puts me higher.

I always thought Rusty was the perfect size...about 14.3. Your mare will probably grow quit a bit more, IMO. It’s been my experience that they do grow, even height wise, a lot between 3 and 4 years old. From about 4 they usually just put on body mass then. I think it’s said that QH’s grow till they are 6.
