Question Whats the biggest horse you've seen?

I've always loved big horses and I wanted to know, Whats the biggest horse you guys have ever seen? Any pictures? The biggest horse I've seen was a 17.3h Percheon cross.

Um, I rode a 17.1hh Warmblood/apppendix TB, she was HUGE!! (build like a "brick house" as Matt (instructor) says.
(She was very interesting to brush/tack, taller than I'm used to, lol)

17.3 TB at our barn! He was a BLAST to ride. Really funny to trot! He was a big goof ball!

17.3h horse? Show us pics, I'm curious to see it.
The biggest horse I've seen I think has been 16.3h. Ironically I've worked with some of the top show jumping horses in the country, but that's still the biggest I've seen.
