No there is not a such thing as a 16.6 hand horse. One hand is 4 inches and the measurements are as follows 16.0 , 16.1 , 16.2 , 16.3 ,17 and it continues on in that pattern. Some people will list a horse that is say 16.2 hands as 16.5 meaning it's sixteen in a half hands, but this is also incorrect. So a 16.6 hand horse could be anything from 16.2 to 17.3 hands. You can always ask someone for the horses height in inches and figure it out yourself.

∙ 14y agoDepends on what you consider tall. 16 hands is about 5 ft 4 in. (Horses are measured at the withers.) Personally, I think it is tall, my gelding is 15-2 and I don't think he is tall. And 16 is just two more inches. If you have long legs, it won't be a problem.

∙ 13y agoYou measure a horse from the ground (at the point where the hoof touches the ground) to the highest point of the withers.
Each Hand is about 4 in
So pretty much if the horse is 16.2hh, that's 16.2 times 4.
The horse is about 64.8 inches (that's about 5'4") at the high point of the withers.
You can't really measure up to the head because horses have different neck lengths
