to estimate the height colt will grow
to : Take colt at any time between
six weeks old and one year, stand him
on level surface so that he will stand
naturally, then measure the distance
from the hair of the hoof to the knee
joint, and for every inch or fraction
thereof he measures he will be hands
high when matured. If he measures
ID inches he will grow to be Is hands
high; if l54 inches he will be 154
hands high, and so on.
