Whats the biggest horse you've seen?

CrazyHorse · 01-21-2005, 05:42 PM

The biggest BODIED horses I've ever seen are two belgians owned by the man we bought our horses from. They're about 16.2 hands. I have a 16.3+ QH/? hand gelding that's coming 8 years old & his trot is very painful to your backside, but his lope is very smooth. His legs REALLY get in his way. He can be very clumsy sometimes. I have to get my hubby to sit the saddle on him because if I try to do it, I end up TOSSING it on his back, & I know that's gotta' hurt.

Hi, I have not really seen this horse. But my couzin lives in Calfornia and I went to visit her with my dad. She said when she was helping with driving horses, she said she worked with a Belgian that was like 22. hands high. I thought that was a big horse.

Hmm.. I'm pretty sure I saw "one of the tallest" of SOMETHING (U.S., state, something!) at the Kentucky Horse Park last summer, but I really can't recall! The biggest horse I can think of right now, is the 17.1 TB at my barn.

The bigest horse that I have ever seen was 18.1 hands. I'm not sure what it was, my dad use to put in sattalites and he put one in at the realy big jumping barn, and apparently this horse was going to the olympics. It was a long time ago, I haven't seen anything near that sence.

Well, the biggest horse I've ever seen is my best freinds horse stitch. hes a 17.2 HH warmblood!

18.2... He was our country record, but wasnt registered so couldnt go for the state. He was a percheron owned by my old trainer. He was a lot of fun to ride

That would probably be Bob, a 17.3hh 2300lbs Belgian gelding. He's the biggest horse I've ever ridden, seriously just like sitting on a couch.

The "biggest horse I ever seen was a 16.2 painted draft horse. The tallest horse(but small bone) is 17.2 hands. I ride her about every other day. I have pictures of both if you want to see
