If a horse is under 14.2 hands high what is it a called?
Technically, a horse 14.2 hands high or smaller, measured from the ground to the top of the withers, is considered a pony. Anything over 14.2 would be classified as a horse. This is particularly true of show hunters and jumpers, but is of less concern in western riding. A hand is a four-inch unit, so a 14.2 hand pony would be 58 inches high at the withers. (14 hands x 4 inches = 56 inches + 2 inches = 58 inches)
What horse can stand 12.2?
I'm assuming this question means what types of horse can stand 12.2 hands high. Hands are the most common Western measurement of the height of a horse, taken from the height at the highest point of a horse's withers, or shoulderblades. A hand is equal to four inches. 15.2 hands means a horse is 15 hands, two inches tall at the withers. Because there are only four inches in a hand, there is no such thing as 13.4 hands or 16.7 hands, et cetera. Hands only go up to .3 before skipping up to the next hand. Any horse under 14.2hh is generally considered a pony. There are some small Arabians and Quarter Horses who stand below this limit but are still considered a horse because they have horselike, and not pony-like, conformation and characteristics. The Caspian Horse and Miniature Horse also stand well below the 14.2 hand cutoff, but these breeds are considered small horses in their own right because of their slender, horselike builds. There are many breeds of pony that can stand 12.2 hands high. Some common breeds of pony include the Welsh Mountain, Pony of the Americas, and Shetlands. Any pony 12.2 hands high or smaller is considered a "small pony." 12.2 hands high is equal to 50 inches.
What is the height weight of a horse?
The height of a horse is determined by the number of hands he is from the ground to the top of his withers. The king of England decided to measure them that way, so he measured a horse with the width of his hand, 4 inches, so each hand is four inches. Say a horse was 16 hands high. That horse would be 64 inches high. if you are measuring a small pony, you just measure from the ground to his withers in inches.

At how many hands is a horse considered a horse?
Hands are how you measure horses. Each hand is 4 inches. So, if your horse is 60 inches tall, 58'' divided by 4'' is 14.2 hh (Hands High) if your horse was 59'' he would be 14.3hh. But, if he was 60'', he would be 15hh, because there can only be up to .3 hh, and after that it goes to the next number, since there is 4 inches in each hand. Horses must be over 14.2hh, because under 14.2hh is a pony (except for a few exceptions). So, there will be at least 14.2 hands in a horse. But there is no maximum height for a horse. Depends how big your horse is, like us horses are all different in size.
