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!
13hh is equivalent to 52 inches or 4 feet 4 inches.
There are 4 inches in one hand. Therefore, 14.2 hands is equal to 14.2 x 4 = 56.8 inches.
1 hand is equal to 4 inches so 13.2 hands is 54 inches or 4 feet 6 inches tall.
approximately 10.40 cm or 4in.
134.1 centimeters.

pony- 14.1hh and anything under. horse- 14.2hh and anything over.
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").
142.24 cm1 hand = 4 inches; 14 hands = 56 inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm; 56 inches = 142.24 cm
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.
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.
pony- 14.1hh and anything under. horse- 14.2hh and anything over.
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.
Horses are measured in hands not feet, but you can always break down the hands measurement into feet and inches. Keep in mind one hand is 4 inches. Horses range on average from 14.3 to 17 hands tall, but can get taller than this (ponies are 14.2 hands and under, as it is a height designation.) So this means a 14.3 hand horse is 4'11" and a 17 hand horse is 5'8" at the withers. An interesting side note. The worlds smallest horse, a dwarf miniature horse is Thumbelina at just 17 inches or 1'5" (4.1 hands), while the tallest horse on record is Big Jake a Belgian draft horse that stands 20.2 3/4 hands which is 82.75 inches or 6'10 3/4" at the withers.

If you are talking about horse racing, then one length is how long a horse is, but there is no real measurement of a 'length'. A regular horse size is 100 inches, or about 12-15 feet.
because a hand is four inches so they can add how many hands together and see how tall a horse is. - Megan (11)
