Different body measurements were taken and evaluated from 14 male and 11 female Muraköz foals of Hungarian Cold Blooded Horses in the stud of Orség National Park, in Oriszentpéter, between the period 2005 - 2009. Furthermore, absolute and relative body measurements and some body measure indices were determined at birth and at the age of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6 months. T-test was used in order to compare the measurements of sexes. Correlation and regression analyzes were applied between the age and body measurements. The body measurements of Muraköz foals at birth were as follows: height at withers measured by stick 91.2 - 95.0 cm, height at withers measured by tape 101.2 - 101.5 cm, depth of chest 33.5 - 34.0 cm, hearth girth 85.8 - 86.9 cm and moreover cannon girth 13.5 - 13.8 cm. The measurements at weaning (age at 6 months) were as follows: height at withers measured by stick 131.4 - 134.2 cm, height at withers measured by tape 139.0 - 141.2 cm, depth of chest 55.2 - 56.5 cm, hearth girth 144.2 - 143.3 cm, cannon girth 19.0 - 19.6 cm. Correlations were found to be strongly positive (r = 0.71 - 0.95; P0.01) between the mentioned traits and age. Increase of the body measurements of Muraköz foals was found to be linear from birth to weaning. Determination coefficients of the regression analysis were between 0.86 and 0.98.
