I'm very sure he's still growing. Within the last year we've had him, he's grown an inch and a half and has definetly widened out. He used to be a little leggy but now he's slowly starting to look more and more like a draft horse. Normally, draft horses such as Percherons, Belgians, and Clydesdales, don't stop growing until around 8 years old. It takes much longer for these larger horses to finish growing compared to your average-sized horses such as Quarter Horses and Appaloosas which normally take up to 6 years to completely stop growing.

You sure the percheron is 7 years old? If he is, he shouldn't still be growing. I breed percherons and all of mine are done by 5 or 6. Their bones shouldn't still be fusing at 7. o_o

Yea, I breed percherons. My hitch mares are usually done growing by 6 1/2 or 7.
