How do you find out how many hands your horse is?

You can't find out how many "hands" your horse is by counting anything! "Hands" is a unit of measurement used for horse height, not the number of anything on the horse.

Here's how to find out how many hands tall your horse is:

1. Use a measuring stick: Find a measuring stick specifically designed for horses. These sticks have markings in "hands" and will be tall enough to reach your horse's withers (the highest point of the back, just behind the neck).

2. Position the stick: Stand your horse on a level surface. Place the measuring stick against your horse's withers, making sure it's straight and vertical.

3. Read the measurement: Look at the measurement on the stick where it aligns with the withers. This will tell you how many hands high your horse is.

Remember:

* One hand equals 4 inches.

* You can also use a regular tape measure, but you'll need to convert the measurement to hands by dividing by 4.
