I had a fairly small mare when I was a teenager and bred her to a stallion
who was quite a bit taller. Because she wasn't rebred after her foal was
born, she continued nursing her daughter for well over a year. By a year,
the daughter was already taller than the mother, and had to kneel down in
order to nurse. It looked very funny. I think the reason she weaned (at
around 16 months, I think) was because it became increasingly awkward for
her to do it!

taller than her)
