This is him in my old saddle three years ago and he was not done growing yet.  It looks like a good fit then, but when he started bucking with each saddling a year ago I wondered what was up.  Now I know my saddle was pinching him.  He has put on a lot more height and muscles since then. 



He gets his size from the King line and the Hancock line but neither his dam nor his sire are this massive.  They are very average under fifteen handish horses.  This is his mama and his full brother:

You can see she is well muscled and bulky.  This colt is two now and pretty average height for a two year old, but who knows what will happen.

Expect more from your horse, and you will get it

I was the daughter who wouldn't lift a finger in the house but cycled madly off in the pouring rain to spend all morning mucking out a stable.
