The Shire is the tallest horse breed.
The Shire breed is generally thought of as the tallest horse breed, with the largest horse being a Shire gelding called Samson who was 21.2 hh (hands high: 1 hand = 4 inches) and weighed 1524 kg (3360 lb). In general, "cold-blooded" draft horse breeds such as Clydesdales and Percherons are bigger than the rest in both height and weight. Brabants, however, are considered the heaviest.
Shires are tallest on average, while Brabants are heaviest. but many world records have been broken by Percheron's, but this is a rare occurrence.
