*Fadl is Babson.? Skowronek is Crabbet – basically the
first or one of the first Polish horses added to the Crabbet’s Egyptian
herd.
What I do for a foal’s mature height estimate is after 6
months, measure from the soft spot in the middle of the knee down to where the
hair meets the hoof – do not follow the curve of the foot, straight
down.? That measurement in inches will be the horse’s mature height in
hands – give or take an inch.? (i.e. 15 ¼ inches = 15.1 hands)? I’ve
found it to be pretty accurate.? Especially since you can do the measurement on
fully grown horses and it comes out the same.

For
those of you who know bloodlines, I have a filly whose sire goes back to Fadl,
and whose dam goes back to Skowroneck. So, are those lines Egyptian,
Russian, Spanish, etc? Also, can someone give me that
measurement again for predicting a youngsters eventual height? Appreciate
any info you can give me.
