Horses come in a wide range of sizes, depending on their breed. For example:
* Smaller breeds: Miniature Horses can be as small as 34 inches tall.
* Average breeds: Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds average around 15 hands (60 inches) tall.
* Larger breeds: Clydesdales and Shire horses can stand over 17 hands (68 inches) tall.
So, a painted horse can be any height depending on the breed it belongs to.
