March/April 2012 Warmbloods Today included an article entitled "How slow do warmbloods grow? by Erica Larson (pages 48/49, 52/53) The article included Dr. Deb Bennett's growth plate timeline which I had forgotten about since it had been quite a long time since I ran across it. I am including a link to a most interesting article by Dr. Bennett about growth and what humans are demanding of young horses and it includes her growth plate timeline. It is well worth reading. The title is "Timing and rate of skeletal maturation in horses, with comments on starting young horses and the state of the industry" It is copyrighted by Dr. Deb Bennett
