What is the heaviest horse in the world?

The Shire is generally realized as being the largest breed of horse; however, individuals within breeds can be extremely large. There are Begian horses over 19 hands (6.3 feet) in height. The listed world record is from 1850, when a horse named "Samson" was measured at 21.2 hands (7 foot 2 inches or 2.16 meters) and weighed 3360 pounds (1524 kg).


How heavy is the heaviest horse in the world?

The largest horse that has ever been documented was a Shire Gelding born in 1846 named Sampson . When measured in 1850 he stood at 21.2 1/2 hands ( a hand is 4 inches ) and weighed 3,360 lbs. That means that Sampson was 7ft 2 1/2 inches tall at his withers ( the point where the mane ends on most horses ) and 1 1/2 tons - about the same weight as a minivan. The largest horse alive today, measuring 20 hands 2 3/4 inches and weighing 2,600 lbs., is a Belgian Gelding by the name of Big Jake.
