It is a special measure that people use to measure horses. It is four inches and you measure the horse or pony from their withers (where the mane starts on the horse's back) down to their feet.
horses are measured in hands. 1 hand = 4 inches therefore.... a horse that is 15.3 hh (hands high) is (15 x 4 + 3) 63 inches tall you measure a horse from the withers... the lump where their neck starts

A horse measuring 15.2 hands is 62" tall at the withers, which is 5', 2" tall. This is a relatively short horse, but the American Paint Horse breed is known for being shorter through the legs and stockier. In contrast, Thoroughbreds can be up to 18 hands (72" or 6' tall) and draft horse breeds can be over 21 hands tall (84" or 7' tall).
