How tall is 15.3 hands high?

Answer 1

An "Average" 15 hand horse is likely to weight 950 to 1000 lbs. If the purpose is to make an estimate for medicating or feeding, assume this as a baseline, then adjust upward or downward if the horse is particularly fine-boned and lean or heavy-set or overweight.

Answer 2

Well One Hand is About 4 inches. So 15.3 hands would be 61 and a bit inches. If you are looking at buying a horse that is 15.3 inches tall you should be able to see over the horse's back and your legs should game down to AT LEAST half way down its side. Your feet shouldn't hang below it's stomach.

Answer 3

One hand is 4 inches and they fallow a specific pattern of height, such as 15.0hh, 15.1 hh, 15.2hh, 15.3 hands high, then it moves to 16hh. The decimal after each hand number is an inch, therefore you can have 1 through 3 but not over as that fourth inch makes the horse another hand taller. When someone incorrectly lists a horse as being 15.5 hands they are either way miss-measuring the horse and it's really 16.2 hands high or they are trying to say the horse is fifteen and a half hands tall which would mean the horse is 15.2 hands.

Answer 4

A 17 hand high horse is 5 feet, 8 inches tall.

Answer 5

4 in= 1 hand. 15 hands x 4 in=60 inches=5 feet.
