Lavendula was the granddam of both Turn-To and My Babu through different daughters. My Babu was almost pony sized, possibly from WWII malnutrition, but his descendants that I know of were all around 16h. Which would be smallish today.

Nutrition must have a LOT to do with final size. I'm thinking of how much larger modern humans are when properly fed than their ancestors were.
