Question

Is it true that horses legs dont grow any longer from a young foal to a fully grown horse?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

no, I've seen horses grow, and they walk under their mother at a foal. But when they get to 2 years old, good luck with it doing that again!

Answer 3

i dont know where you heard this but definetly not. That is one of the main reasons it is best to wait to break a horse, or work a horse heavily until they are 3 or so years,  because there legs need to grow and develop properly.

Answer 4

no. It isnt, as a foal can walk underneath its mother!

Answer 5

Not true.  Side note, foals have knees termed "open" until the bones and cartilage fill in and should not begin full training until the knees have "closed."

Answer 6

No way! Foals are much shorter than grown horses!
