A horses stride is measured by taking note of it's walk trot and canter. You want to be sure to take not of their posting diagnol because it won't help much if your hourse is on the incorrect lead. Horses with smaller shoulder angles have longer strides and horses with a shorter shoulder angle means a longer stride. If the shoulder angle is smaller then it means that the bone in a horses shoulder is parrellel to the ground allowing the leg to reach further. The height of a horse has nothing to do with its stride length.

How long is the average horse's stride?
I'll assume you are going by the canter stride used in jumping competitions and basic training. In that case the average canter stride is 12 feet long. A human stride varies according to how long the humans legs are and their natural gait, whether they walk with short steps or long steps. To determine this, have someone measure your stride and then divide the 12 foot canter stride by your stride length to figure out how many strides you must take to equal one full canter stride of the horses.

What do you call the stride of a horse?
What actually determines stride is the length of leg and the slope of the shoulder. Height just normally translates into longer legs, so is associated with length of stride. Horses with long legs and a shoulder with about a 45 degree angle or more will tend to have a very long stride. But, even horses with long legs can have a short stride if their shoulders are very steep (less than 40 degrees). And horses with short legs can have long strides if they have a nice shoulder with 45 degree angle or more. So, length of leg and slope of shoulder are what really determine stride- not height.

Is there an Example of how to measure a horses stride?
The rule-of-thumb has always been 12 feet per stride. In other words, the average horses' stride is 12 feet long. But as horses on the average have gotten so much larger a 13 foot stride is becoming more common-place. Most open show jumper courses are set for 13 ft. strides between jumps. For instance if you have a 5 stride space between 2 fences the acutal distance will be 65 feet. This is used because hunter/jumper horses are usually taller than say a cutting horse.
