The aim of the study was to evaluate chosen Hucul horses’ morphometric traits with the use of point method exemplified by chosen Hucul horses’ morphometric traits. The study has been conducted in 561 Hucul horses of both sexes, which were divided into 6 age groups. Each specimen underwent the measurement of the height at withers, the thorax’s circumference, the metacarpus’s circumference, the head’s length, the neck’s lateral length, the height at the sacrum, the trunk’s oblique length (greater) and the pelvis’s width. The obtained results were applied to statistical analysis, including the calculation of a mean arithmetic value, a minimal value, a maximal value and standard deviation, which served for the construction of an appropriate point scale. At the following stage they enabled us to perform the analysis with the use of non-nominal data represented in points. Within the parameters considered, the homogeneity of investigated material was found, which could indicate stable growth of morphometric traits. However, the tendency of metric traits for homogenous but unstable growth was also observed. Moreover, we have found that point values obtained for three-year-old horses, and to a lesser extent the ones obtained for two-year-old horses, were higher than the values calculated for the individuals qualified for the group of adult horses.
