A question i've always wondered - how tall..?

[PinkFairy]

was the tallest horse in the world? i've tried Google but to no avail! And pictures are darn near impossible to find! I've always wondered how tall the tallest horse was. Also what was the highest jump ever jumped and by who? (again - piccies??)

Biggest horse ever I think was 21.2hh *I think*

Theres a post from a few weeks ago about the highest jump ever jumped, it had a video with it aswell.

*blushes* well.. i cant find the measuring tape but i'm guesing its rather huge - im only 5ft 4 (approx anyway). GOSH imagine riding a great beast of 21.2hh!!! meep

And I thought the 18.2hh at college was tall! I love jumping big horses though, they make anything seem like 2' high!

but they have made a few mistakes on it lol!!

 

[Faithkat]

5ft 4 is 16hh. 21.2hh is 7ft 2" - normal ceiling heights are 7ft 6" . . . . it's a VERY long way down (you'd have time to make a will AND call an ambulance . . )

 

[PinkFairy]

meep!!!!

"21.2 ½ hands - 86 ½ inches at the withers. Tallest horse ever documented, a Shire gelding named Sampson (aka Mammoth with good reason!) measured in 1850 and listed in the Guinness Book of World Records."

my horse says 19.2hh on his passport, but we measured him without shoes and trimmed up and hes actually 18.3hh.
funny thing is when you sit on him he dosn't really feel that big but saying that im 6ft 3 so to me hes not that big
