Best Answer

The largest horse in recorded history was probably a Shire horse named Mammoth, who was born in 1848. He stood 21.2½ hands high (86.5 in/220 cm), and his peak weight was estimated at 1,500 kilograms (3,300 lb).[24] The current record holder for the world's smallest horse is Thumbelina, a fully mature miniature horse affected by dwarfism. She is 17 inches (43 cm) tall and weighs 57 pounds (26 kg).

Poynette - Big Jake might be taller than any other horse in the world, but his owner Jerry Gilbert describes him as a gentle giant.

The 9-year-old Belgian gelding is the Guinness World Record-holder for world's tallest living horse at one quarter inch short of 6-feet, 11 inches.

That's 2.75 inches taller than the previous record-holder, a Clydesdale from Texas named Remington.

Gilbert and his family own Smokey Hollow Farm near Poynette, Wisconsin. He usually shows Big Jake as a draft horse in four-or six-horse hitches and he raises money for the Ronald McDonald House.

Gilbert says Big Jake, who weighs about 2,600 pounds, is good with people and even likes to goof off. He says people are astonished when they see just how big he is.
The world's tallest living horse is a Belgian Draft named Big Jake. Big Jake is a gelding born on March 8,2001. He stands at 20 hands and 2-3/4 inches, which means he is 6'10-3/4" tall at the withers,without shoes. His weight is about 2500 pounds.
It all depends. Of course, I could research it, but not all of the horses ever born were recorded of how tall they were.

So far, the most recent tallest horse I've found online is Big Jake.
A Giganto Horse, called Marie and savanna
