I saw a supposably 19 hand draft type at the fair once. I had to pay a dollar to see him...LOL He was very huge.. Biggest hosre I ever seen, its been a while so I don't remember what kind he was. I don't know if he was acctually that tall or just colse enough for them to say he was, you can't trust thoes people!!!
The biggest I have ridden was a 17.2 Standerbred that could trot 40mph!!!! Wow that was too much for me (gimmi my 14.3 mare back WHEWW!!!) LOL

I took care [and rode] a 16 and 1/2 hh standardbred mare!!!She was under weight though[she was a rescue horse]

the biggest horse i've ridden was a 17.3h TB geld. he could step over a 3ft! ;-)

I usually ride "big" horses, although they don't seem big to me, but normal, the smallest i've ridden is a 16.1 TB, but i occasionally ride a 15h Paint (but he's too small for me, i'm by no means "fat" just tall.

My grandpa's Belgians are 19+ hands. They're actually used for pullin', but I've rode a couple of them and they are rather smooth.. amazin'ly enough.

Biggest boy I have seen is Barney. He's a black Percheron stallion that our neighbors have. Whenever we drive by, I always look for Barney; he is huge! And so velvety black. And to top it off, he is as gentle as a kid's pony. The kids next door often come over to get rides on him. He has to be over 18hh high.
I also saw one of those "hugest horses in the world" at the Erie County Fair. i felt bad for the poor guy, having to stand in that stupid tent for most of the day with idiots gawking at you. I just waited until they brought the big guy out for a walk, and saw him for free! But I still think Barney was taller than him.
