POYNETTE, Wis. — 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.

I’ve always loved horses and that is one BIG horse.
Big Jake may be the biggest horse but have you seen the smallest horse in the world? http://www.offyoutrot.co.uk/blog/worlds-smallest-horse/
I could just imagine how Big Jake would make the ground vibrate when he gallops around. How does it feel to be riding on him as he runs fast? Thanks for this post and I would love to read more about Big Jake’s exploits.

He’s great, he’d have no problem with the fences at Aintree. Take some feeding, I bet.

2,600 pounds, that is a lot of horse. I wonder what he eats?
Incredible, never saw nor thought horses that bid exist. Is that a special breed or a result of alimentation?
