Well, since there are 4 inches per 'hand', we can start like this:
4x11= 44
4x12= 48
NOW, 4x13= 52 after you get 52 inches just add one more inch!
So your answer is 53 inches!
pony- 14.1hh and anything under. horse- 14.2hh and anything over.
12.2 and a half hands So it is not actually a horse,its a pony because its under 14.2 hands.
How many hands high a horse needs to be depends on how tall the rider is, if the rider is still growing and how wide the horse is. Most people can comfortably ride a horse in the 14.3 to 15.3 hand range no matter how tall they are.
That would be 13 hands high.
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").
1 hand = 4in so 16 x 4 = 64 in x
57 inches
Hands high is a unit of measurement of horse equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimetres. Therefore, 15.1 hands high is equal to 15.1 x 10.16 = 153.416 centimetres.

There are four inches in a hand if you are talking about the height of a horse.
One horse hand is equivalent to 4 inches. It is a unit of measurement commonly used to determine the height of horses.
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.
