1 It is less expensive to store data on tape or disk (the principal means of secondary storage) than to buy and house filing cabinets. 2  Data that is reliable and safe is less expensive to maintain than data subject to errors. 3  But the greatest savings can be found in the speed and convenience of filing and retrieving data.
Horse Anatomy: Withers. The withers are located above and just behind the horseâs shoulders where you would find the shoulder blades. They are the long thoracic vertebrae (roughly the 3rd through 11th) that support his head and neck. They are an important attachment point for the muscles of the torso.
A hand is four inches. So when a horse is ten hands high, he is forty inches from the ground to the top of his withers. Purchase or borrow a measuring stick. This is the easiest method. Make sure you are measuring from the spot where the horse's hoof touches the ground to the very top of his withers. If you cannot locate a horse measuring stick, you may use a measuring tape. Take the total number of inches and divide by four.
