You are now entered into the March monthly drawing for a Hare & Hound Gift Certificate. The correct answer was Hands. Horses are measured in hands because they didn’t have standard measuring tools in ancient societies, so they commonly used hands to measure horses. One hand is considered 4 inches, so a 15 hand horse is 60 inches tall.
