The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers. 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).
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Hand (hh), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 984.2519685039371 Hand (hh)
1 Hand (hh) = 0.001016 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 984.2519685039371 hh = 984.2519685039371 hh
2 hm = 2 * 984.2519685039371 hh = 1968.5039370078741 hh
5 hm = 5 * 984.2519685039371 hh = 4921.259842519686 hh
10 hm = 10 * 984.2519685039371 hh = 9842.519685039371 hh
