What age do horses stop getting taller?
3 years or earlier than that? I assume this is the same for males and females?

Re: What age do horses stop getting taller?
Horses don't stop growing until their 5 years old no matter if their male or female. However any height growth after 3 years old seems to be very slow and only a small amount compared to their first few years.sunandshadow wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 5:18 am 3 years or earlier than that?

Re: What age do horses stop getting taller?
We've recent info that the horses stop actual growth at 6 years. However, at 5 years, they seem to stop actual 'growing into adult'. I can't find the recent post but I believe it was a larissar one. Can't also remember what the topic was about... I thought I should've put a link to it... *sigh* Ah well...
It may be safe to say 'the horses stop growing during their fifth year.' In this way, it covers both what we've seen (height nominally) and also the coding.
