My mare is 15.75 hands. Is that average or tall?

Answer 1

thats an average sized horse. 16.2h and up would be tall and 14h and lower are pony sizes, i believe.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a 15.75 hands because there is only 4 inches in a hand; therefor, your horse can be 15.1 or 15.2 or 15.3 but not 15.75. Perhaps you mean your horse stands 15.3? If so, that's definitely not tall.

Answer 3

Hands are every 4 inches meaning you have 15 hh, 15.1 hh, 15.2 hh, 15.3 hh or 16 hh. I'm assuming 15.75 is 15.3 and yes that would be a nice average height.

Answer 4

Depends on the breed or breed mix. She's probably average.

Smaller breeds are around 14.2 if they aren't ponies. Our quarter horse mare is just over 15 hands.

A horse is classified as a pony if it's under 14 hands but one of this size can be ridden easily by an adult male.

Answer 5

That's pretty average for breeds that don't specifically get that big. Whether or not she's 'tall' depends on her breed. Most of the horses I know are over 16hh, alot of them well over, so I think she's short, but that's just me.

Answer 6

what breed... tall for a welsh, avarage for a quarter horse


I think you mean 15 hds and 3/4 of an inch

♥horse lover♥ its 14.2 and under a ponies!

Answer 7

Depends on the breed, acutally. Do you mean 15.3 hands, horses are not measured in quarters like that.

Answer 8

Shes pretty average depending on her breed, i have a paint who is 15.3 an its fairly average.

Answer 9

depends on your horse's breed and genetics. that is pretty normal for most.
My mare is 17.2 hands and for her breed that is average. We have QHs from 15- 16.2h, all normal.

Answer 10

do you mean 15 hands and 3 inches? if so, then it would be 15.3 you go by 1 inch increments, not normal mathematical way. it is normal on the taller side (14.3- 16)
