your measure a horse by hands. you start at the bottom of their foot and put your hand next to it and then put other hand on top of the one next to the ground and build up, you measure until you get to the top of the horses ear.
You go until the wither. THat is between the back of the ear and the beginning of the mane.
A measuring rod is needed to measure the height of a horse.The height of a horse is measured to the highest point on its back where the neck extends , known as the withers. The horse needs to stand on a level surface for measuring.
a horse is measured in HH, this stands for human hands, but people just call them hands, one hand is 4 inches :)
you measure a horse up to it's back
It is a special measure that people use to measure horses. It is four inches and you measure the horse or pony from their withers (where the mane starts on the horse's back) down to their feet.
By hands
The cinch size will vary from horse to horse, measure the horse where the cinch should be and that'll give you a good idea of what size to get.
Around the girth, from the withers to the tail dock.
You don't measure it at either point, to be technical. Horses are traditionally measured in units called hands, which measures literally how many hands tall a horse is. One hand is equivalent to 4 in., or 10 cm. You measure at the highest point of the withers when the horse is standing square--ideally without shoes on. (By the way, the withers are the point at which the mane stops and the neck begins to slope into the back. This is my definition of it, anyway. Look up the parts of a horse to see where the withers are.) ________________________________________________________________________________________

That would depend on what country you are in, some measure from the wither to about the horse's tip of tail and others measure from the point of chest to the top of the tail.
If you want to measure a pound of feed for a horse, it is a good idea to use a scale. A scale will be the most accurate way to measure a pound of feed.
the measure of a horse in four inches is a hand. So, one hand equals four inches.
By hands
a horse's headstall is measured by horse "type" ie: pony, cobb, thouroghbred, arabian, or quarterhorse.
You measure a horse from feet to withers, there is a tape measure like thing you can buy to measure your horse, but if you don't have one, you can measure with a regular tape measure, a HH is 4'' so divide what ever you got with the tape measure by 4. The 'stick thing' metioned above is called a Height stick. It's best to use one with two levels on it and don't forget to stand the horse on level ground and don't count the shoes as part of the horses height.
In a way yes.. You measure from the ground to the withers in hands 1 hand equals four inches. So if you measure your fingers and one of them equal four inches, you could measure a horse! Good luck!
ofcourse horse ..........the engine power or any power we measure today we do it in terms of horse power and not wolf power ......
it all depends . . . it can range anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds . How to measure your horse : -Measure the heart girth -Measure the body length , (from front leg to butt) -times the two numbers -divide it by 300 -then add 50 =)
