Well, that would be right if you were just talking about some racetrack bred thoroughbreds, in which the numbers that you gave are also inaccurate for certain individuals.
The numbers that you gave are certainly not correct for all horses. I gave the average for all different breeds of horses because each animal is different, and no one can expect any number that you put up to be exactly accurate for every horse.
When do horses' bones stop growing?
