How tall is a race horse in feet?

Answer 1

Horses are measured in "hands," which represent the width of the average man's palm, standardized at four inches. A horse is measured from the ground (front hoof) in a straight line up to the highest point of the withers (above the shoulder, where the back and neck meet, roughly where the mane ends). The average Quarter Horse is about 15 hands, times 4 = 60 inches, so about five feet tall from hoof to withers. Hanovarians can be as tall as 17 or 19 hands.
