horses are measured from the ground to the top of the withers in 'hands.' One hand is four inches. The average horse is 15 to 16 hands. 17 hands is very tall and only unusual specimens reach 18 hands. Some horses, especially in the West, are smaller. Ponies are usually less than 14 hands, two inches, though the words 'horse' and 'pony' can be used in variable ways in different contexts.

Either merchantable or total is the distance from the ground to the top of the tree. In measuring total height the distance is measured usually in feet from the base to the highest point of the tree. In measuring merchantable height the distance is measured from the ground to a specified minimum top diameter. Merchantable height is expressed in terms of feet or number of logs of a specified length which includes a trim allowance.
