1 A hand is equal to 4 inches or 10.2cms. 2  You should measure your horse from the point of the withers to the ground. 3  A horse that is 61 inches tall is 15.1 hands or 15 hands and 1 inch or 15.1hh. 4  This is calculated using (61/4 = 15.25); the .25 is the decimal equivalent of one quarter and a quarter of 4 = 1; so 15.1hh.
One hand = four inches. 4 multiplied by 18 is 72. 72 inches=6 feet. Now just get a tape measure or measuring tool of some sort and measure from the horse's whithers up to the top of her head. We can not give you the exact answer since it varies with horses. Source(s): Owner of 18h Hanoverian.
