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.
The Thoroughbred has the largest registered in the world with over 1.8 million in the USA alone which is a very large chunk of the TB population mostly in Kentucky or southern stats

The 2nd tallest is Raydar the Clydesdale! :) whee!
At the moment the tallest horse is about 20.1hh but the height normally depends on the breed. :)
No, the thoroughbred is not the tallest horse. Draft horses, like the Clydesdale, are generally taller. The thoroughbred however, is leggier, so the breed can often appear to be above average in height.
The Irish Wolfhound is the tallest dog breed in the world. It can measure around 32 inches tall as opposed to the great dane's 27 inches.
