Millie, the big B&W TWH I've been riding grew about 3" last year. When I first met her she was croup high and thin looking, now she's filled out, grown up, and is a really nice horse! She was 6 this month (I believe, don't have her IPEDs in front of me). Before I came along all she'd been was a pasture puff, about 20 rides total. She finished out at 17.1 (honest, honest, honest, she's a BIG mare!). Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
