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 Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
To convert between Hand (hh) and Mile (mi), use the following formulas:
1 Hand (hh) = 0.00006313131313131313 Mile (mi)
1 Mile (mi) = 15840.000000000002 Hand (hh)
1 hh = 1 * 0.00006313131313131313 mi = 0.00006313131313131313 mi
2 hh = 2 * 0.00006313131313131313 mi = 0.00012626262626262626 mi
5 hh = 5 * 0.00006313131313131313 mi = 0.00031565656565656563 mi
10 hh = 10 * 0.00006313131313131313 mi = 0.0006313131313131313 mi
15 hh = 15 * 0.00006313131313131313 mi = 0.000946969696969697 mi
20 hh = 20 * 0.00006313131313131313 mi = 0.0012626262626262625 mi
