Horses are sometimes measured in hands – one hand is 4 inches (10.2 cm). Horse heights are extremely variable, from small pony breeds to large draft breeds. The height at the withers of an average thoroughbred is 163 centimetres (16.0 hands; 5 ft 4 in), and ponies are up to 147 centimetres (14.2 hands; 4 ft 10 in).
They are small horses, generally standing 135–150 centimetres (13.1–14.3 hands) at the withers, and weighing 350 to 500 kg (770 to 1100 lb). [8] Despite their small size, they have the strength to carry grown adults.
Many breeds characteristically have high and prominent withers, such as the TB. In these horses the withers may be higher than the croup giving the impression of an uphill build while the horse's actual spine levelness is downhill. Common in well-built warmbloods. A "croup-high" horse. Withers Lower than Croup/Rump High/Downhill Balance

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] : 247 [ 3 ] : 311 It is thicker and coarser than the rest of the horse's coat, and naturally grows to roughly cover the neck.
Remains attributed to the species display a considerable range of morphological variability. [9] The species had a small body size, with adult individuals estimated to have a body mass of around 300–365 kilograms (661–805 lb), [3] with the mummy of an 8 year old adult male horse (the Selerikan mummy) having a height of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) at the withers.
