measuring a horse

["Lysane Cree" <cree_l@LSA.Lan.McGill.CA>]

Question on measuring the height of the horse: Do you measure from 
withers to ground only or do you also measure from withers to poll in 
 order to get the proper height of the horse (using your hands, or 
at least the 1 hand =4 inches measurement)?
