Examples
1
Consider that a horse is measured to be 16 hands tall.
Convert this height from hands to Yards.
Answer:
Given:
The length in hands is:
Length(Hands) = 16
Formula:
The formula to convert length from hands to yards is:
Length(Yards) = Length(Hands) / 9.00000000027432
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Hands) = 16 in the above formula.
Length(Yards) = 16 / 9.00000000027432
Length(Yards) = 1.7778
Final Answer:
Therefore, 16 hand is equal to 1.7778 yd.
The length is 1.7778 yd, in yards.
2
Consider that a racehorse stands at 15.5 hands.
Convert this measurement from hands to Yards.
Answer:
Given:
The length in hands is:
Length(Hands) = 15.5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from hands to yards is:
Length(Yards) = Length(Hands) / 9.00000000027432
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Hands) = 15.5 in the above formula.
Length(Yards) = 15.5 / 9.00000000027432
Length(Yards) = 1.7222
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15.5 hand is equal to 1.7222 yd.
The length is 1.7222 yd, in yards.

Hands
A hand is a unit of length used primarily to measure the height of horses. One hand is equivalent to 4 inches or approximately 0.1016 meters.
The hand is defined as 4 inches, providing a standardized measurement for assessing horse height, ensuring consistency across various contexts and practices.
Hands are used in the equestrian industry to measure the height of horses, from the ground to the highest point of the withers. The unit offers a convenient and traditional method for expressing horse height and remains in use in equestrian competitions and breed standards.
Yards
A yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One yard is equal to 0.9144 meters.
The yard originated from various units used in medieval England. Its current definition is based on the international agreement of 1959, which standardized it to exactly 0.9144 meters.
Yards are often used to measure distances in sports fields, textiles, and land. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the yard remains in use in these countries.
