appendixqh said:The way I do it...(right or wrong) seems to work.
Once they are 1yr old or older, measure from the front part of the coronet band on the hoof right where the hoofwall meets hair, and pull a string straight up to the center of the horses knee (where the dip is in the middle of the joint). That measurement will co-incide with the horses final height. So if the measurement is 15 and 3/4 inches, the horse will be 15'3 99% of the time. Its pretty cool....hope it works for you! AND stop by if you want to see pictures

Worked for me when we did those measurements.
At what age was it, a yearling?
