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

What do you need to own a miniature horse in your backyard?

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.
