A full-grown hand will be almost exactly 4" across. This "hand" measurement is one of the oldest in the world, far preceding inches and feet. this is why horses are always measured in "hands" instead of inches/feet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-84120089260568435222013-01-03T12:23:43.474-08:002013-01-03T12:23:43.474-08:00Really small hands?
