Best Answer

It stands for hands high. A hand is counted as 4 inches. and to measure the height of a horse you stand on even groun ground, get a stick and a leveler. Then you have the stick leveled directly up at the horses withers(about where the mane ends the bump there) and you mark the stick at the tip of the withers and measure it with a tape measure and divide by four, if it isn't even then you will have something like 16.2 hands high depending on how many inches are left.
