Actually it's 17.1 hands. And I doubt she's barefoot so you can likely add and inch putting her at about 70". 5.3 hands is 63" so a differnce of approx. 7". Obviously the horse is tall! I prefer them around 13.2 hands. I'd say based on the photo and the women's height he is likely prett darn close to 15.3 hands.
