Hand to Centimeter Converter
Hand (hh) to Centimeter (cm) Conversion
The Hand is the standard unit for measuring horse height worldwide. One hand equals exactly 4 inches. For example, an average riding horse stands about 15-16 hands (60-64 inches) tall at the shoulder. This measurement is taken from the ground to the horse's withers (shoulder ridge). The Centimeter (cm) is ideal for smaller measurements like the width of a smartphone (7-10 cm), the height of a coffee mug (10-12 cm), or the length of a pencil (15-20 cm). It's also used in crafts and construction.
