When we got Nordex at barely 3 years old he measured at 13.1 hds. Now three
years + later he is 14.1 hds and more stocky than he was at 3. Haflingers
seem to be late bloomers, so there still maybe a growth spurt waiting in the
wings with your mare. ;-)
Are you planning to bring her to the Gathering?

Subject: [haflingerfriends] How big will she get?
Hi All,
I think I have found my dream Haflinger mare, I'm just concerned she isn't
going to be big enough. She will be 4 in April and is between 13.3 and 14
hands. Her parents are 14.1 and 14.3. Her mother is very drafty and her dad
is a more modern type. Can I expect her to reach at least 14.1 or is she
finished growing in height? My gelding I ride is 14.2 and drafty. I feel
comfortable on him but don't know about anything smaller. I am between 5'7
and 5'8" 155 pounds. Thanks so much for being here to answer all or our
questions. Tina in VA
