there are 4 inches to a hand, so 14 x 4 = 56 inches, plus 3 = 59 inches
57 inches
Height: The height for this breed is 11 hands. This approximates to 44 inches to the withers of the horse. Average height for horse breeds is 15.0 hands or 60 inches. Therefore, the Shetland Pony is shorter than most horse breeds.
A hand is 4 inches. So say it was 61.2 inches, it would be 15.3hh(hands high) at the withers.
That would be 13 hands high.
Well, one hand is 4 inches and 1.59 m is equal (roughly) to 62 inches, so a 1.59 m horse would be 15.2 hands high.
A Hand is equal to 4 inches or 1/3 of a foot.A 7 foot horse would be 21 Hands.
because a hand is four inches so they can add how many hands together and see how tall a horse is. - Megan (11)
'Radar" The worls tallest horse 19 Hands 3-1/2 inches tall (6' 7-1/2")
A normal sized Percheron can be from 16 to 18 hands high at the wither (shoulder). A hand is four inches.
Well, seeing as there are 4 inches in a hand a 16 hand horse would be 64 inches or 5 feet and 4 inches.
Hands are how you measure horses. Each hand is 4 inches. So, if your horse is 60 inches tall, 58'' divided by 4'' is 14.2 hh (Hands High) if your horse was 59'' he would be 14.3hh. But, if he was 60'', he would be 15hh, because there can only be up to .3 hh, and after that it goes to the next number, since there is 4 inches in each hand. Horses must be over 14.2hh, because under 14.2hh is a pony (except for a few exceptions). So, there will be at least 14.2 hands in a horse. But there is no maximum height for a horse. Depends how big your horse is, like us horses are all different in size.
