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.
How to Measure for a Collar. 1  Measure along the front of the collar bone from the top of withers to the breast. 2  IMPORTANT â measure in a straight line â not curved around the contour of the horse. 3  Take the measurement several times until you are confident of the size needed as this measurement is critical for hame sizing as well as collar sizing. If you are unsure of measurement it is better to be a little too big rather than too small. If the collar is too small it will never fit.
