About Hand (hh) and Meter (m) Units

The Hand is the standard unit for measuring horse height worldwide. One hand equals exactly 4 inches.

The Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters).
