When measuring a horse, the unit we use is called a 'hand'. I forget exactly how many inches it is, but it comes from the distance between the tip of the thumb and little finger of an open adult palm. To measure, you go from the ground at the front hoof (either side) up to the withers (shoulders). I think 16h is about 64 inches.
