About Hand (hh) and Millimeter (mm) Units

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 Millimeter (mm) is perfect for very small measurements like the thickness of a credit card (0.76 mm), the diameter of a pencil lead (0.5-0.7 mm), or the size of small hardware components. Commonly used in engineering, jewelry design and manufacturing.
