A hand is a unit of measure in horses that is equal to 4 inches, so a horse that is 16.2 hands is 66 inches tall. Horses are measured from the ground to their withers, which is the point at the base of the neck where the shoulders come together at a point.
17.2 hand tall is pretty tall for a horse. You see, Every four inches is equal to on hand. What you would do is find the product of 17x4 the answer is 68. 68+2=70.
Your 17.2 hand tall horse is 70 inches tall. WOW!!
Each hh is 4 inches up to the withers, which is the point where the mane starts near the horses back. So 4 times 17 is 108 inches up to the withers. ( they're kinda tall and great for show jumping/eventing )
Well, it's 69.4 Inches, if that helps. You could break that down in feet.
How I got this: 17.1 (Hands high) x 42 (multifly to determine inches) = 68.4 Inches
One hand is four inches (10.16 cm), so 17 hands is 68 inches (172.72 cm) or 5 feet eight inches tall.
