A hand refers to approx 4", so it would depend on how tall the horse is.
Most ponies are 9 - 14 hands (36" to 56" at the withers)
Horses are 14.1 - 18 hands (avg 15 - 16 hands)
It is usually abbreviated hh = hands high
up to 8. They are usually under 32'' but it depends on what class it is. Class A is up to 32''.
Horses below about 8-10hh are considered minature. Sometimes they are measured in only inches because they are so small!
Cobs can get up to 14.2 hands high
HH Represent the usage "His Holiness" in many occasions
Miniature horses are registered with the AMHA and or the AMHR in the United States. Many of the smallest are descended from the Fallabella horses that originated in Spain.
8! 4 inches = 1 hand I know this because when you measure the height of horses it is measured in hands e.g. 15hh (hands high) and anybody who knows anything about horses knows how many inches are in a hand! :D

if your talking about horses they can go up to 19hh but ponies are only up to 14.1hh.
Belgians can be up to 17 hands high, but the world's tallest living horse is a Belgian named Radar, who is 19.3 1/2 hands high. (6 ft., 7.5 inches). He weighs 2,400 pounds.
When a horse is born, it is called a "foal." Then, when it gets a bit older, it is called a "miniature horse." this is the age where you can tell what gender it is. Then, after being a miniature horse it grows into a horse or a pony. Hope I helped!
15'3'' hands
Miniature or draft, a horse is considered livestock. There are very specific laws and regulations that pertain to livestock and/or farm animals. The first thing you need to do is find out if your property is zoned to allow horses. If the zoning is right then you need to provide a shelter and good fencing for your mini. If you have neighbors close it is advised to make sure they won't mind having a horse next door. There is the smell, manure disposal, fly control, dust problem to name a few. This is an important point. You won't enjoy your mini if neighbors are complaining and calling the code enforcement on you. I have given you a place to start so do your homework checking with the county and good luck.
Your question is either a joke or not understandable. Horses have no hands.
Calvary horses used to be in the 15 to 16 hand range depending on breed. The Military used to use Arabians which were 14-15 hands. But most military units only maintain Calvary horses for show, parade, and funerals now instead of for warfare.
