Wiltshire White Horses: Measurements of the white horses

The measurements of the white horses are given on this page, where they are known. All dimensions given are approximate, as the sizes tend to change over the years with successive scourings. The heights given are from the highest part of the horse to the lowest, except when stated (unlike the heights of real horses). The horses are listed in alphabetical order, regardless of county or country.
Measurements are given in feet (ft) first, then in metres (m). A question mark indicates measurement unknown.
