Grade Horse foal height?

#276137 Posted on 2024-11-28 15:25:23

I am trying to breed some very tall (16+ hands) Grade Horses for endurance.  I have just bought a Chincoteague stallion with 8 NSS, and he's only 14 hands.  I know pure breeds have height minimums and maximums; is the same true of certain Grade crosses?  (To put it another way, if I use this stallion in my project, will I be able to get the average height back up to 16+ hands?)

can't remember for sure but i think foal height is only dependent on the parents' heights and not the breeds themselves. you should be able to breed above chincoteague height yes.

Sweet, thanks.  In that case, that little guy is going to be a real boon to a couple of my projects.
