That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Hands". Traditionally, a horse's height is measured in "hands," where one hand equals 4 inches (about 10.16 cm). This method originated in ancient times when the width of a person's hand was used for estimation. Today, horses are commonly measured from the ground to the top of the withers, providing a standardized way to assess their size.
