There is always a chance he might grey out,but i really doubt it. Because he wasnt born solid and then got lighter with stripes. He was born striped so apparently he has a good chance of staying as he is.....hopefully ;)

I was looking through old pics of when I first got Nimir several months ago...I think he is geting darker:shock: maybe it is because winter? he doesn't have a winter coat though...idk...it is kinda weird! What do you guys think? Pics are ordered from when I first got him until now...

I dont think he is stunted. Arabs average height is 14-14.2 hands and he is at 14.2. So he is a very normal heighth for an arab :) plus he has been constantly filling out since I got him so I do believe he will continue to do so like any 3 almost 4 year old. I dont believe he will be all that much bigger. His neck is still skinny looking though...lol

He is beginning to fill out really nicely. He does appear to be darker but it could just be the light. I would be dying to find out what colors he is a mixture of. There is still quite a bit of time for him to grow out of the gangly stage, my boy Dobe didn't start really bulking up until his 5 year old year so he still has time.

It looks palomino/grey up close...but....

Is there an actual color test for any other color or can I only test him for grey?

Have you tried doing a string test on him to figure out how tall he will end up being. I knew a qh who was starved for a while as a baby and I think it slowed his growth because is owner fed him enough for his size but he never seemed to really fill out. He looked alot like your boy does and was the same age. Then he got put in a field with a roundbale and grass that he could munch on any time he was turned out which was almost 24/7 for a few years and he went on a crazy growth spirt and ended up turning into a tank by the time he was 6. No-one believed it was the same horse.

Ill do a string test...it will be interesting. But his sire is quite small as is his dam I am assuming since they are egyotian arabs. But who knows! Nimir may grow taller! Hooefully at least stockier ;)

I HIGHLY doubt he will get a whole lot bigger. Arabs are smaller horses and smaller built. I rode one that was 14hh-14.1...she was full grown and a dinky thing. But she could easily carry me with no issues.

His growth isn't stunted..he has grown some that's for sure and he has filled out but as far as height..he is pretty much done but will continue to fill out :)


he's sooo cute.
