the withers is the highest point where a horse is measured from and it is between the shoulders.
Withers
Height for horses and ponies is measured in hands at the withers, or shoulder blade of the horse. A hand is equal to four inches. You can buy measuring devices, but yardsticks work just as well.
A horses stride is measured by taking note of it's walk trot and canter. You want to be sure to take not of their posting diagnol because it won't help much if your hourse is on the incorrect lead. Horses with smaller shoulder angles have longer strides and horses with a shorter shoulder angle means a longer stride. If the shoulder angle is smaller then it means that the bone in a horses shoulder is parrellel to the ground allowing the leg to reach further. The height of a horse has nothing to do with its stride length.
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.
The shoulder height of a lion ranges from 2.6 to 3.6 feet.
90cm.............or3ft tallthe maximimum height at shoulder of a jaguar is about 88 centimeters
from the ground to the wither.
Platyypuses are measured in length rather than height. Platypuses are not measured for how tall they are, as they stay close to the ground. At most, they would be less than 20cm (8 inches) in height at the shoulder.
The point on the horse is the height measurement taken is the withers.
For a human boy it's up to the head, but for a male animal it's typically to the highest part of the withers (Shoulder/back region)
from the ground to the withers... i hand equals 4 inches

17.5" ...most long-range hunters round up to 18". Height from ground to top of back is 36".
From the throwing line to the surface of the board 2,37m (measured parallel to the ground). The height of the bullseye 1,73m.

The answer depends on its initial velocity and the height from which its fall to the ground is measured.
The difference in the height of two people is commonly measured from the top of the head. The two people stand back to back and are measured from the top of one persons head to the top of the other persons head. This will show which person is taller. To be exact, a person would have to use a measuring tape to measure each person's height individually.
