How many hands high are miniature horses?

Miniature horses are typically 34 inches or less at the shoulder, which is the standard measurement used to determine their height.

It's important to note that:

* There are different classes within miniature horses, with varying height limits.

* The height can be measured in hands, with one hand equaling 4 inches.

* So, a miniature horse that is 34 inches tall would be 8.5 hands high.

However, it's not as simple as just saying "X hands high." It's important to consider the specific breed and class of the miniature horse. For example, a miniature horse in the "American Miniature Horse Association" (AMHA) can be 34 inches or less at the shoulder, while a "miniature horse" registered with the "American Shetland Pony Club" (ASPC) must be under 46 inches at the shoulder.

Therefore, while the general height range is 34 inches or less, or 8.5 hands high, it's always best to refer to the specific breed and registration organization for accurate height standards.
