Whack and Roll Posts: 6342 Location: NE Texas	Good quality forage is the key, and time. Some horse just take longer. I have a 5 YO that is just now starting to fill out into what looks like a mature horse. We didn't break him until he was a 3 YO due to him being on the small side. Don't rush it or over feed to try to get growth. Put her on a good program nutritionally, preferrably 90% forage, and let her come into herself. Overfeeding and trying to speed up the growth process can present many issues physically for a young horse from OCD lesions to club feet to many other problems. No reason to mess with Mother Nature....she knows what she's doing. :)
