How to Squeeze Three Horses into a Two Horse Trailer



Tessi is bigger than Nora now! We noticed it with some surprise yesterday when the two of them where side by side in the horse trailer. It made me reminisce on when Tessi was teeny and we could fit all three horses in our two horse trailer, with Tessi squeezed between her Mommie and her Auntie (see photo above). We certainly can't do that now. I measured Tessi yesterday and saw that she is now 14.2 hands at her croup (rump) - her shoulder is shorter and will need to catch up. Zazu grew until she was eight years old, so it may very well be that Tessi will reach 15 hands, like her mom. I would like her to stay at 14.2 but I have a feeling that is unlikely. Once she breaks the 14.2 threshold she will officially be horse size (not pony).
