• The Horse Measuring Tape is a retractable measuring tape that measures in hands, can be easily carried around and is easy to use.
• Because the tape is quite rigid it allows you to easily measure your horse without a stick. This can be of great benefit when measuring young or flighty horses or ponies that object to a large stick being placed next to them for measuring purposes.
• To obtain a more accurate measurement we suggest placing a ruler, or other straight object horizontally across from your horse's wither to the tape. An extra pair of hands to hold the tape will also assist with an accurate measurement.

• Tape measures from 1 hand right through to 20 hands, and the extensive marker points allow you to obtain an accurate measurement down to 1/8. For example, you will be able to measure your horse as accurately as 13.3 3/4", 15.1 7/8" etc.
