    The World's Largest Horse ever recorded was a Shire gelding named Samson, bred by Thomas Cleaver of Toddington Mills, England. Foaled in 1846, this horse measured 21.2 1/2 hand high ( 7 ft. 2 inches) in 1850, and weighed 3,360 pounds.Samson is also recorded as the "HEAVIEST" horse weighing 1524 kg (3360 lbs.)

    • Thanks for the question and the answer. I went to Google images and looked at photos of Shire horses. I hadn't heard of the breed before. They're big and pretty, with beautiful feet.
