The size of a horse all depends on breed, so can be anything between 7.5 inches and 6 foot 7 inches!

A horse's height is usually measured in hands, and a pony is any size up to 14.2hh. A horse is any height above this.

The size of an adult horse all depends on the breed of horse. For example if you have a clydesdale their maturity height is 16.2-17.0 hh(hands high) An Arab how ever has an average maturity height of 14.2-15.0 hh (hands high) You may want to get an Encyclopedia of Horses, and in this book it might discuss the different heights of different breeds of horses. i hope i helped

There is no real 'average' size for a horse as each breed of horse has a set standard as far as height goes and what the horse is used for affects height also. But generally speaking a horse in the 15.0 to 15.3 hand range would be about average, a horse that size would weight between 900 to 1200 pounds typically.
