[MCPE-121628] Baby horses, donkeys, and mules still increase in size as they age

The bug

When the horse model was changed to be more in line with the designs of other animals, baby horses were also no longer supposed to grow gradually with age for the same reason. However, this was missed, and it still happens.

How to reproduce

Spawn a baby horse
Feed it wheat
→ ❌ It gets slightly larger

Cause

Since this behavior is data-driven, it's a really simple fix: replace the scale_by_age component in the baby horse component group with a normal scale component.

Can confirm. On java they used to do that in 1.6.4, but for some reason this was removed, but it hasn’t been removed from bedrock.

This is not a bug why in the first place this was removed its need to be bring back, and on Java too

Why is this phenomenon considered a bug? Please roll back this change!

Why Mojang? This has been such a lovely feature of Bedrock. I agree with countless others when they say that parity between the versions should be done only if neither version is harmed in the change. We all know 100% parity isn’t possible, and I don’t see how this can be a bug in either version.
