Four inches is one hand on a horse.
One hand = four inches.
There are four inches in a hand if you are talking about the height of a horse.
If you are talking about horse racing, then one length is how long a horse is, but there is no real measurement of a 'length'. A regular horse size is 100 inches, or about 12-15 feet.
A horses weight isn't really in relation to his height so much as it is to their over all conformation. A 15.1 hand horse could be really stocky and heavily muscled or thin and narrow. To find a horses actual weight you need a seamstress' measuring tape, a calculator and a pencil and paper. Measure the horses heart girth area and write that number down, then measure the horses length from point of shoulder to point of buttock. Now do the following math equation. Heart girth x Heart girth x length divide by 330 = horses current weight. a horses ribs should be able to be easily felt but not seen and it should not as a general rule have a 'bony' appearance. Nor should the horse look 'very round' or be squishy feeling.
When measuring a horse, the unit we use is called a 'hand'. I forget exactly how many inches it is, but it comes from the distance between the tip of the thumb and little finger of an open adult palm. To measure, you go from the ground at the front hoof (either side) up to the withers (shoulders). I think 16h is about 64 inches.
One hand is equal to 4 inches. In each inch there are 2.54 cm. So, 122 cm is equal to 48.0 inches. This equals 12 hands.
A horse hand is 4 inches
There are four inches in a hand if you are talking about the height of a horse.
Assuming you mean in the height of a horse, there are 4 inches in a hand.
In mesuring how tall a horse is- 1 Hand is 4 Inches.
Well, seeing as there are 4 inches in a hand a 16 hand horse would be 64 inches or 5 feet and 4 inches.
the measure of a horse in four inches is a hand. So, one hand equals four inches.
1 hand is 4 inches, so for example a 15 hand horse is 60 inches. 4x15 = 60.
4 inches per hand
A horse hand is 4 inches.
In horsemanship, a hand is a measure of the horses height at the withers, and it is equal to 4 inches. A horse will be said to be "xx hands high".
there are 4 inches to a hand, so 14 x 4 = 56 inches, plus 3 = 59 inches
There are 4 inches in a hand so a 17.2 hand horse would measure 70 inches at the withers.
