They can. When the youngster is not receiving the correct nutrition they can't grow like they should. Not only can it stunt the height of the young horse it can cause damage to internal organs that may effect his health throughout his life. It is so important for young horses to get the correct amount and type of food, hoof care, vet care and of course love and training from his people. It's a very big responsibility but when done right you have a happy, healthy, strong young horse that will give you many years of service and companionship.

The only way to "stunt your growth" would be if you weren't getting enough food when you were very young. If you had good nutrition up until about age 12, you'll reach your full height. If your growth was stunted by being mal-fed in early childhood, there's no way for you as an adult to catch up.
