Will they grow into it or out of it? Whatever way that needs to be worded. Pretty nice lines otherwise. Can't provide pic as I don't own her, but I am considering her as a prospect. It has been so long since I've been around a 2 year old that I'm not certain if they all are like that.

I would say a lot of young horses will be high at the hip at some point. Most of my two and three year olds go thru this stage and even out as they mature. Heck I have a 6 month old bull mastiff that's like that now. Lol

I notice a lot of yearlings look high in the hip, but I thought by 2 years old they evened out a little more. But of course every horse is different, so it may just be how this one is growing.

Depends on the age of the horse and bloodlines. A lot of fast maturing horses will grow out of it by the time they're 2.5-3 years old but my horse just grew out of it and he turned 5 this year.
My opinion on the bloodlines are that I like the sire. Glad that he earned his money and did something I'm not seeing too much on the mares side until you get into the grandparent stages, like Band of Azure and Pie In The Sky, but overall I think it;s good bloodlines.

My 4 y/o has been hip-high throughout. He's almost even now, but he's still growing... he's pretty big though (16hh). I agree that it depends on bloodlines and size. Your pedigree link isn't working (at least for me!)
