Finding Cheese's withers in the first image is difficult, since he's facing the camera.(We're now on the scale of the blind bag toys.)
#Mlp human applejack and twilight mac#
Inches, Centimeters: Even Big Mac is less than 1hh. Decimeters: Pinkie measures ~2hh, 1/4 the minimum height for a pony. (Approximately 1in shorter than the tallest horse in the world.) Using alternative units, however, is argued against by simply presenting the results based on those other units: Additionally, it would make the chart completely useless as a frame of reference to the viewer. I refute the "made-up" argument with the fact that, honestly, there isn't that much worldbuilding in MLP, and creating a new unit of measurement would be unnecessary effort. I've been asked before why I assume the chart behind Cheese was in feet, instead of another unit or something entirely made-up. (Or alternatively, they're little ponies! /pun) (Less than that is a "miniature horse," but the range is because of differing classification by differing breed registries.) With some margin for error 1, that puts the MLP characters on the low end of "pony" height. In the real world, a "pony" is a horse breed which measures less than 14.2hh when fully grown, and more than 8.2-9.2hh. In horse measurement terms, that's 8.28 and 6.19 hands high, respectively. Using the above screenshots, this puts Cheese Sandwich at 2.9ft and Pinkie at 2.04ft. The point on the back where the neck and back meet is good. 
(In fact, this is the standard for measuring dogs, too, so we could use it to get Winona's height!) Unfortunately, MLP ponies aren't rendered with withers, so we have to estimate. In the case of horses, the standard is to measure from their withers, a bony ridge between their shoulder blades, right at the base of the animal's neck. Instead, you need to measure from the animal's back to the ground. This is understandable, as it's what you do when measuring a human's height, and we're humans (most of us.) unfortunately, that technique doesn't work for quadrupeds, who can move their head up and down a considerable distance, and do so frequently (especially the two characters measured in this image!) There is one major, glaring flaw with the calculations above: They measure from the top of a pony's head to the ground.
As of Pinkie Pride, we have another scale to go on Cheese Sandwich stands against a height chart.
