FINAL HEIGHT OF HORSES

The final height in hands of a grown horse is reached dependant upon the individual horse and it's type,breed or the genetic family makeup.

Muscle developement and fitness from proper training also play a part in how tall a horse can be since the forelegs and shoulders are attached to the body via a musculature suspension system and the height of a horse is measured from the top of the withers to the ground.
