<< Is there anyone who could explain me what you mean with 14.2 hand Fjord? I know inch, foot ... but hand? >> A hand is 4 inches. This measurement came from the days before everyone owned a ruler. The average person's hand was 4 inches. Same with the "foot" measurement being 12 inches. So 14.2 means 14 hands, 2 inches, for a total of 58 inches tall.
