With the latest Minecraft-Beta-Preview-26-0-23 released the changelog says this “Baby Horses, Donkeys, and Mules no longer gradually grow in size as they age, matching Java Edition (MCPE-121628 )” meaning that this was just a bug and because of that got removed in this Preview and Beta, but true to this that this was an awesome and amazing feature that wasn’t ruining the gameplay and fun and we all love and liked and right now we are so disappointed of Mojang team decision to just remove it in Bedrock Edition instead of adding this feature to Java Edition too for proper parity not just by removing it in one edition and calling it matching with Java Edition.
How to reproduce
Spawn a baby horse
Feed it wheat and it’s instantly will grow into adult instead of increasing in size as its need to be
Expected result
The baby horse will gradually grow in size
Actual Results
Baby horse just turn into adult in one poof

When horses were first added to Java in 13w16a, they grew gradually. In 14w28b, a bug was introduced (MC-61535) that caused baby horses to look like adults. It was fixed in 1.8.1-pre1, but baby horses no longer grew gradually. Indeed, the code responsible for this was removed in that exact version. It also introduced another bug that caused horses to visually appear as adults when given food. That bug was in turn fixed in 15w47a. Gradually growing horses was never re-added. When I reported MCPE-121628, I was under the mistaken impression that horses gradually growing was removed from Java in 17w45a, a later snapshot that simplified the model. Still, horses only gradually grew in Java for the first year of their existence. In fact, by the time they were ported to Pocket Edition, this feature was already gone, and probably should not have been ported. Bedrock only just now removed it.
