Hands
The hand is a unit of measurement of length standardized to 4 in (101.6 mm). It is used to measure the height of horses in many English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was originally based on the breadth of a human hand. The average shire horse is 16 to 17 hands tall and can even reach up to 18 hands.
Centimetres
A centimetre, or centimeter, is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre. For context, a piece of A4 paper is exactly 24 centimetres wide on its smallest side.
