The height of a horse is determined by the number of hands he is from the ground to the top of his withers. The king of England decided to measure them that way, so he measured a horse with the width of his hand, 4 inches, so each hand is four inches. Say a horse was 16 hands high. That horse would be 64 inches high. if you are measuring a small pony, you just measure from the ground to his withers in inches.

Is a 15.0 hand horse for a 5 foot and 3 incher girl?
In general a horses height doesn't have too much to do with a riders height. It is more the weight of the rider that matters. A taller horse will be bigger in general and more able to carry a heavier rider's weight. Of course a taller horse looks more proportioned to a taller rider than a short horse to a tall rider. A 15H horse is just fine for a 5'3" person provided they are not excessivley overweight. I have a 15H horse and I am 5'6". By contrast, my daughter is 5 1/2yrs old and rides 16 hand or taller horses regularly. Height is less important than weight.
