Sure, a "Hand" is 4 inches. And the .2 part of it is 2 inches. I know it doesn't make any sense at all. I agree but it is an old way to measure a horse using ones hands. The 4 fingers on the hand are about 4 inches (average hand I guess).
So the 14.2 hand horse is really a 58 inch or 147.32 cm tall horse. Hope this helps. Mike ======================================================= Norwegian Fjord Horse Registry Mike May, Registrar Voice 716-872-4114 FAX 716-787-0497 http://www.nfhr.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
