Quick question: how tall is a pony? 🐴
Trick question. We don't use feet. We use HANDS.
Here's how it works:
✋ 1 hand = 4 inches (about the width of an adult's palm)
📏 You measure from the ground up to the withers, the bump at the base of the neck
🐎 Under 14.2 hands? That's a pony. Taller? That's a horse.
So "14.2" means 14 hands and 2 inches. Not 14.2 of anything!
Next time you visit, see if the kids can guess how many hands our ponies are. 👀
