Size is not the thing to go by, but how they are eating etc since you have had the tortoise. Guides are just than a guide its not set in stone. I have not used a guide for my tortoises in over 20yrs. This includes hatchlings. As long as they are eating etc well, and have a dry nose and clear bright eyes, then they get hibernated.
Horsfields need a hibernation more than most of the other hibernating species. As most are grown far too fast (when you can see white lines around each scute) and need to hibernate. In the wild they hibernate up to six months of the year:0)
