a pony can be below 7hds (but not much smaller) and up to 14.2 hands but a horse can be 14.3 to 18hds!
This ? is from a horseisle riddle...

A hand is a unit of measure that determines the horse's height at the highest point of the withers. One horse's hand is equal to 10.16 cm. So in 132 cm, there are 13.0 hands.
A "large" horse is over 15'3 hands, meaning over 64" at the highest point of the back. A "small" horse is 14'2-15'3 hands (58-63"). This is according to the USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) rules.
a ray. think of the suns rays. the sun is the point, and the rays go on into space forever. just a little corny connection my teacher tole me. :)
This is called two-point. It is called this because you remain in two ponits of contact with the horse (your legs and hands). Normal riding is the three point position where you use your legs, seat, and hands.
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.) ________________________________________________________________________________________
A point to point horse is a race horse that runs on the flat.. im Mj_Ox on howrse :)

58 in. A horse's height is measured in 4-in. (10.2-cm) units, or hands, from the highest point of the back (withers) to the ground.
To have a good two-point for a beginner, follow these basic steps: When you are about 20 feet in front of the jump, stand up in your stirrups, push down your heels, and stick your butt out a little. When you are about 5 feet or so in front of the jump, push your hands about two feet up the mane, or neck of the horse, and grab some of the hair to hoold your hands in place. Maintain this position during the jump, and wait one stride after to release. As you get better, so will your position. Good Luck!
When galloping a horse, you should be in two-point position (also called galloping position). In two-point, your seat is out of the saddle (all your weight is distributed through your legs) and you bend forward from the hips. Remember to give and take with your hands to accommodate the horse's head movement.
horses are measured in hands. there are 14 centimetres in a hand.ANSWERThe height of a horse is measured in a combination of hands and inches. One hand is equal to 4 inches. If a horse does not match up with accurately with just hands, then they will also use inches to specify the remainder. For example, a horse that is 10.2 h means 10 hands and 2 inches.The height of a horse refers to its height up to where the neck meets its back, rather than all the way up to its head, because they head continually changes level depending on a horse's position.
the point of the horse's buttock is under the flank
