Even when the horse has focused as best it can, its sight is only three-fifths that of a human. In other words, when looking at an object twenty feet away, the horse sees only as much detail as a person with twenty-twenty vision would if the object were thirty-five feet away.
Horses are measured in âhandsâ (one hand equals 4in or 10.16 cm) from the floor to the withers â the top of the animalâs shoulder blade. Anything under 14.2 (14 hands and 2in) is a pony. Anything over that height is a horse. The average racing thoroughbred is 16 hands. For a heavy horse breed like the Shire (formerly known as the English Cart Horse), the average height is a little over 17 hands. To everyoneâs astonishment, Sovereign measured 20 hands and 2in.
