Convenient Form of Instruments for 
Measuring Horses. 
The height of a horse is usually meas¬ 
ured by hands, a hand being 4 inches, 15 
hands being just '5 feet, or 60 inches. 
Fig. 1 is convenient for measuring the 
height at the withers and croup; fig. 2 
for measuring the width of chest at should¬ 
er points, width of hips, width of fore¬ 
head and length of head. Other meas¬

with an ordinary tape line.
