The largest horse in the world now is 20hh (6ft 10)and he is i believe 2600lbs. His name is Big Jake
The horse in this picture was actually 19.1hh and weight 3200lbs...
just saying
Wait,do you mean weight wise?Because as far as I know,most horses of most breeds are a lot taller than 6'6.Weight wise,I'd understand,because that thing looks like he ate a fucking stegosaurus,but I swear all of the full grown horses I've ever been around have been roughly 7 feet total.Or is that shoulder height?Aren't those Belgians usually 7 foot at the shoulder?Sorry for all the questions,I'm not very horse-smart.
Its from what's called the withers down to the ground that they measure them. The withers are the bone right at the end of the neck that goes to their back. Belgians, Clydesdales and Shires are the main draft horses that get pretty giant. The weight varies on how much they eat or are worked. This horse I can tell you is not as heavy as it says due to the horses height. The horse in this picture is about 3200 pounds and its probably mostly muscle :)
BTW for nonhorsey people, 1 hand = 4 inches
