Does anyone know what percentages i can use for months not listed on the table?
It goes from 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 etc but my foal has had a big growth spurt at 4 months and i'd like to do the calculation for this age.

Hello Miss Jane,
Hmmm.... I would create a graph with the height percentages between the two months of interest on the y axis and the ages of interest on the x axis. Then I would make two lines one between the point of the low estimate of the 3rd and the low point of the 6th month and one line using the high estimates points. Then you could read both the low and high average percentages for each of the months in between the 3rd and 6th month.
