How To Measure Ponies
Stand the animal on a
smooth, level surface, in such position that the front legs are
vertical and the backs of the hocks are in a vertical line with the
point of the horse's quarter. The head is to be held low enough to
reveal the highest point of the wither and no lower. With the horse
in this position, measure the vertical distance from the highest
point of the withers to the ground. The arm of the measuring
standard shall be placed over the highest point of the withers, and
no measurement taken at any other part of the horse's body shall
count. The standard must be a straight, still, unbendable stick and
should be provided with a plumb or spirit level to make sure the
standard is perpendicular from withers to the ground and that the
cross piece is parallel with the ground surface.
