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). Primarily used in horse racing (UK/US). 1 furlong = 660 feet = 1/8 mile.
To convert between Hand (hh) and Furlong (fur), use the following formulas:
1 Hand (hh) = 0.000505050505050505 Furlong (fur)
1 Furlong (fur) = 1980.0000000000002 Hand (hh)
1 hh = 1 * 0.000505050505050505 fur = 0.000505050505050505 fur
2 hh = 2 * 0.000505050505050505 fur = 0.00101010101010101 fur
5 hh = 5 * 0.000505050505050505 fur = 0.002525252525252525 fur
10 hh = 10 * 0.000505050505050505 fur = 0.00505050505050505 fur
15 hh = 15 * 0.000505050505050505 fur = 0.007575757575757576 fur
20 hh = 20 * 0.000505050505050505 fur = 0.0101010101010101 fur
