What did people use to measure horses back in the 1900s?
HAND (one hand = 4 inches). The horse is measured from the ground to the top of the withers,The withers are defined as follows (Wikipedia):The withers is the highest point on the back of a non-upright animal, on the ridge between its shoulder blades The withers in horses are formed by the dorsal spinal processes of roughly the 3rd through 11th thoracic vertebrae (most horses have 18 thoracic vertebrae), which are unusually long in this area. The processes of the withers can be more than 12" (30cm) in height on the average horse. Since they do not move relative to the ground (as does the horse's head), the height of a horse is measured from the ground to the withers. Horse sizes are extremely variable, from small pony breeds to large draft breeds. The height of the withers on an average Thoroughbred is 16 hands (5' 4").
What is the spot called on a horse that is just after a horse's neck but above the shoulders?
The withers. This is the highest point on a horse's back, and is formed by the dorsal vertebrae. A horse or pony's height is determined by the distance between the ground and the highest point on his withers, using a unique unit of measure called a "hand." One hand is equal to four inches. Height is expressed by the number of hand units tall, followed by a decimal point, then the number of inches (if any) remaining above the last full "hand." More simply, a horse that stands 5 feet tall (or 60 inches) at the highest point of his withers, would measure 15.0 hands high (60 inches divided by 4 (a hand) = 15). If the horse was just two inches taller, his height would be recorded as 15.2 hands. One way horses are distinguished from ponies is on the basis of size, with horses measuring over 14.2 hands (58 inches, or 4'8.3" at the back), and ponies measuring at or below that size.
