Yeah, it’s a reference of this one… but with Rarity.

I’m quite aware of all that. But we are talking about how ponies would measure cloth in a world of ponies. Not how humans measure the height of equines.
When talking hoers, the standard measuring unit is the ‘hand’ (wouldn’t Lyra love that?), which is standardized today as 4.0 inches (10.16 cm). Its most-common use today is when specifying the height of a horse; it’s often used in conversation when talking about horses, e.g. “how many hands is s/he?”, meaning “how tall is the horse in question?”
Since pones don’t have hands, of course the immediate replacement word/term is ‘hoof’.
Sorry if I am being pedantic. -> insert ‘The More You Know’ music here
I think trots, gallops, or canters would make more sense as units of measure if you’re trying to stay “horsey”
If you’re going for a feet->hooves reference, you may be uninformed of a detail: bolts of cloths are measured in yards, not feet.
Anyway, on the merits of a pic of Rarity sperging out over sewing resources, it’s quite cute.
