A horse is measured by "hands". The term is used to refer to the number of "hands" tall a horse is. If a horse is 15 hands tall then you should be able to measure 15 hands from hoof to withers. Start by putting the back of your hand against the rhorse's hoof (pinky finger parallel to the ground) and stack one hand on top of another until you reach the horses withers or top of shoulders.
Horses are measured in hands, one hand is equal to 4 inches or 10.160 cm. This measurement is applied to the horse from the ground to the top of the withers, which is the highest point of a horses back.

You don't measure it at either point, to be technical. Horses are traditionally measured in units called hands, which measures literally how many hands tall a horse is. One hand is equivalent to 4 in., or 10 cm. You measure at the highest point of the withers when the horse is standing square--ideally without shoes on. (By the way, the withers are the point at which the mane stops and the neck begins to slope into the back. This is my definition of it, anyway. Look up the parts of a horse to see where the withers are.) ________________________________________________________________________________________
