      We still use hands for exactly one measurement, the height of a horse

        Something like 14 hands tall is what seperates horses from ponies.

            If you have a 14 hand tall crowbar then I’m almost certain it wouldn’t be counted as a pony.

      You will find “Hands” still being used as a specialty measurement of how tall a horse is. And I think they measure at the front shoulder. But that is, I think, the only time you might hear it.

      For the curious, 1 Hand = 4"/~100mm For example - The mare stood 15 hands tall.
