Why is a horse's height taken from the shoulder rather then there head?
A horse can move its head too easily and not all horses carry their heads at the same angle (some carry it more level to their back and some carry it really high), so it would be difficult to get each horse to hold it's head at the same angle every time you wanted to measure them. However, when stood squarely, a horse cannot alter the distance between its whithers and the ground, so this is a more dependable measurement.
