While I was in the stable, I fed a carrot to my TRIVIA QUIZ!
The countdown to the "BIG GAME" continues! Ready for a Colts-themed question? Today's question is brought to you by horse racing. Anybody else remember when Nick and Jessica attended the Kentucky Derby on Newlyweds? Hey, what do you mean I was the only one who watched that show!
So, here's some horse trivia for you...
What unit is a horse's height measured in?
For bonus points, what is one of those units equal to in inches?
Good luck! Don't worry, I won't NAG you for an answer :)

So I know from my childhood obsession with Black Beauty that it's hands. And I know that 20 hands is a really big horse, so I'm going to say that a hand must be about 4 inches.
Hands hands hands! I imagine the name came from actually using your hand to measure. Though I guess I don't know which direction that first hand was facing!
Hmmm, looking at mine now, maybe 9 inches??
Ah, excellent work, everybody! For such good work, you all deserve...a hand!
Hands is the correct answer. I had a book as a child that actually featured a horse drawn out of hands...anybody else seen this? It was a great book! Anywho, a hand is about 4 inches, which surprised me.
