Horse Vision Even when the horse has focused as best it can, its sight is only three-fifths that of a human. In other words, when looking at an object twenty feet away, the horse sees only as much detail as a person with twenty-twenty vision would if the object were thirty-five feet away.

How Large Should Horse Corrals Be? The appropriate dimensions for horse corrals is important for the health and safety of both the horse and handler. The number of horses and size of horses will help determine what size corral is going to be needed. For a single horse, a corral of 10 feet by 12 feet and 5 feet high will be sufficient. This is considered small, but is plenty of room for a short stay. Most public corrals will be this size. The standard rule of thumb is a corral should be at minimum 10 feet X 20 feet.

Horse Height Hands Conversion Chart Since a hand is equal to four inches, you can calculate your horse's height in inches by this formula: 4 x WH + FH = Inches high. Where WH stands for the horse's whole hands, and FH stands for any fraction of the horse's height left over. For example, a 15.2HH horse's height could be calculated as follows : 4 X WH + FH = Inches high =. 4 X 15 + 2 = 62 Inches high. Below is a table that converts the average height of horses to inches, feet, and meters.

Equine vision The horse also has a visual streak, or an area within the retina, linear in shape, with a high concentration of ganglion cells (up to 6100 cells/mm 2 in the visual streak compared to the 150 and 200 cells/mm 2 in the peripheral area). Horses have better acuity when the objects they are looking at fall in this region.

Thread: Travel times in fantasy/pre-industrial society - by foot, horse, boat, etc It is the distance someone could travel in one hour. I don't know that there is a huge difference between average travel on foot, and average travel on horseback. I mean, sure over short distances. But animals can't be pushed but so far. Not much of a difference for a Walking horse (avg. of 4 mph vs. 3 mph for avg. on foot). That makes a league in 45 minutes rather than an hour (can add up though over a full day of travel). A trotting horse can do about 8-10 miles per hour, or a league in about 20-25 minutes.

How Far Can a Horse Travel? ANSWER: Horses can travel upwards of thirty (and some, even forty) miles per hour. They cannot sustain this pace for long, though. A horse can gallop a couple of miles at full steam, but the same horse can canter (or lope) much farther. Trotting (either a fast trot or a jog trot) isn't a bad way to travel, but you don't get very far very fast. Faster trotting is tiring to the rider as well because you are posting (rising up and down out of the saddle on alternate beats). Horses can walk all day, with brief rest periods.

- Light passes through the eye and lands on the back layer called the retina. The retina contains rods and cones that are the cells which detect light. Rods sense light in black and white, cones sense colors. The ratio in horses and humans of rods to cones is approximately 20:1. However, in horses the distribution of cones is different.

So, if your horse is 60 inches tall, 58 divided by 4 is 14.2 hh (Hands High) if your horse was 59 he would be 14.3hh. …But, if he was 60, he would be 15hh, because there can only be up to .3 hh, and after that it goes to the next number, since there is 4 inches in each hand.
