The conversion from centimeters to hands is typically used in measuring the height of horses. One hand is equal to 10.16 centimeters. So, to convert centimeters to hands, you would divide the length in centimeters by 10.16.

Let us say you have a horse that is 150 centimeters tall, and you want to express its height in hands. You would use the formula:

Hands = Centimeters / 10.16

For the given example:

Hands = 150 cm / 10.16 = 14.76 

Therefore, a horse that is 150 centimeters tall is approximately 14.76 hands tall. In practice, the result is usually rounded to the nearest whole number, so in this case, you might say the horse is 15 hands tall.

what is Hand length units

Hand length is a unit of measurement traditionally used for the height of horses, particularly in the context of measuring their withers (the highest part of a horse is back, located between the shoulder blades). One hand is defined as 4 inches (10.16 centimeters).

This unit is still commonly used in the equestrian world, especially when describing the height of horses. For example, a horse that is 15 hands high is 15 times 4 inches, or 60 inches (152.4 centimeters) tall at the withers.
