What is horses height?

Answer:

You measure your horse at his withers. I've come across many people who think that you measure the horse at his poll when his head is as high as it can go. Measuring a horse at it's poll. Correct: Measuring at his withers. You've probably heard people say something like this: "My horse is 15.3hh." The "hh" part means "hands high." What is a hand? That is the unit that you measure your horse in. Each hand is equal to four inches. So, lets say [beware, we are doing very easy math, nothing to sweat about]: Your horse is 9 hands. Each hand = 4 in. So, we would do: 9 hands x 4 in. = 36 inches. So, if your horse is 9 hands, he is 36 inches.
