In equestrian terms, a "hand" is a measurement used to describe the height of a horse, with one hand equaling 4 inches. Therefore, a horse that is 19 hands tall would measure 76 inches, or 6 feet 4 inches, at the shoulder. This height is quite impressive and typically characterizes larger breeds, often used for specific disciplines such as draft work or certain types of riding.
