When measuring a horse for height you should measure on a hard flat surface. meaure from the highest point of the withers to the ground. remember that there are 4 inches to a hand. so there can be a 14.1; 14.2; 14.3.....however there can never be a 14.4 because following the 4 inches to a hand rule that would become a 15.0 hands high. so 15 1/2 hands high would be written as 15.2 NOT 15.5

How do you measure the length of your hair?
I find the best way is to get a piece of string and place it at the top of your head. Pull it tight and measure out where the average lenght of your hair is. Then measure the string, to find the actual length. Otherwise, a pretty easy (but less exact) way is to take a ruler, place it against the side of your head with the 0 inches at the top of your head and measure to where your hair falls.
Measure a horse from its head?
horses are measured in hands. there are 14 centimetres in a hand.ANSWERThe height of a horse is measured in a combination of hands and inches. One hand is equal to 4 inches. If a horse does not match up with accurately with just hands, then they will also use inches to specify the remainder. For example, a horse that is 10.2 h means 10 hands and 2 inches.The height of a horse refers to its height up to where the neck meets its back, rather than all the way up to its head, because they head continually changes level depending on a horse's position.
