Horses range greatly in hight. The average riding horse would probably be around 5 feet tall.
2-3 ft at the shoulder when lying down but they are over 4ft at the shoulder when standing up.
the withers is the highest point where a horse is measured from and it is between the shoulders.
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.
Horse HeightHorse sizes vary a lot by breed but a horse is over 14.2 hands when measured at the withers. The average varies from breed to breed, as obviously a light show hack who's maximum height is around 16.hh is never going to have the same average height as a shire or other draught/heavy horse who's minimum height may be 16.hh.
average a shoulder height of 112 cm (44 in)
The point on the horse is the height measurement taken is the withers.
There isn't a maximum height for a horse. However, the average height for a horse is around 62 inches tall.
About 4 feet at the shoulder
Average height for a Swedish horse may be from 15.2hh - 16hh +
A seahorse is on average 10cm of height
At the top of the shoulder, right where the mane first starts.
On average 3 to 3.5 feet at the shoulder
It depends on how comfortable a rider you are because obviously you dont want to be scared of the height of your horse normally though a horses back should be about the same height as just above your shoulder (in-between) your shoulder and ear) - hope this helps.
on average one meter high at the shoulder
3 feet from the shoulder down.
The shoulder height is between 23 and 30 cm (9 and 12 in).
