Big Jake, a nine-year-old Belgian Gelding horse, has been recognized as
'The Tallest Living Horse' by Guinness World Records. Big Jake measured
in at 20 hands 2.75 inches without shoes. The two and three-quarter
inches made him eligible for the world’s record. He weighs in at 2,600
pounds. He's taller than the previous record-holder, a Clydesdale from
Texas named Remington, who's 20 hands tall.
The Belgian horse weighed 240 pounds at birth. This is about 50 pounds
above the average for his breed. Born in Nebraska, Big Jake came to
Smokey Hollow Farm in Poynette, Wisconsin as soon as he was weaned from
his mother. In time, it was decided that due to Big Jake’s unusual size,
Smokey Hollow Farm wanted to explore the possibility of Big Jake
holding the world’s record.
