Yes. The origin of measuring a horse this way is very old, but easy to understand. In days long ago people did not have the common measuring devices (like tape measures, etc.) that we do today. To measure a horse, they used their hands. Somewhere along the way, the measuring unit of a hand was standardized to mean four inches.
