From: MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY AND ODD BITS Patron Saint of Horses St. Giles Patron Saint of Farriers St. Eligius Hippologist One who studies the horse. The Measure of a Horse Horses are measured in hands, despite having hooves. Their height is measured at the top of the withers. One hand = four inches, meaning that a horse might be 15.1, 15.2, or 15.3 hands – but never 15.4 (that would be an even 16 hands!) If someone tries to sell you a horse they advertise as 15-5 hands, move at a gallop in the opposite direction. For those of you who are, like myself, mathematically challenged, this inches-to-hands conversion chart should prove … handy.
