Hello,
it all depends on wether or not the growth plates on his bones are already fused or not.
If not, there's potential for more growth over the next 2 years.
But I wouldn't poor feed into him now. Is he now large enough that a saddle will fit him? If yes, I would take the chance, because it's likely that he will grow some more.
Next I would do a full work-up: blood, fecal tests, worming, getting him on a good mineral feed and adding a bit of grain - depending on the results of the work-up.
If you want to invest that much time, money and effort is up to you.
