  • what kind of horseperson demonstrates a horse, any horse without a proper lead rope, cos im not being funny, but if that animal decides to bugger off and she is holding its headcollar shes going to be going under its hooves not alongside. As well as that, who the hell advertises the worlds biggest horse when it is clearly underweight and looks like it has laminitis from the way it stands >.>

    Please do not comment.

  • Looks kind of malformed...

  • hes so skinny! poor thing... :(

  • i have seen taller horses..

  • God damn get your hands of his face and go fetch him a hay bale for starters! wow!

  • Not the tallest but damn horses are husky strong and powerful! All that muscle makes them look sexy!

  • Tallest horse ever was a 22 hand black percheron...okay he wasn't black when he doed in 1927 but...tallest horse ever google it.

  • I'm not trying to be a bother, but I'm asking this because it's just on my mind, isn't she a tad bit skinny for a draft horse? She looks tiny for a shire, I mean no harm I'm just wondering

  • @feltetteluvtomfelton I think it's more likely a condition. I've seen a few particularly big shires malformed. Makes them look smaller than they are when they're like this, really sad. If you look closely there are no ribs showing, her ribcage must have been tiny. Her pelvis is also very narrow, if she was just malnourished there would be a load more bone showing back there. She is weak in build and seems to be atrophied in the quarters. Pretty obvious she wouldn't last long.

  • looks lie a pretty short horse actually....

    and not malnourished.

  • i have seen bigger :(

  • Ugh, idiot. the tallest horse to date is radar, a 20.3h clydesdale gelding.

  • @horselinda123456789 No need to be rude.

    And Radar is a belgian draft.

  • @horselinda123456789 Meh,

    sorry I was tired that night and didn't know what I was typing XD

  • He is far from malnourished, look at the muscles in his chest and the covering on his hip bones. A malnourished horse would have prominent hip bones, ribs and spine. This horse looks like a young rapidly growing horse should, you definitely don't want a young horse of this size to be overweight, as that would just cause more problems with its development!

  • @RoxyHades01 the point is that 20hh is not standard for a normal horse maybe it is for draft breeds but not quarterhorses and throughbreeds and such

  • WTF? she died at FOUR??

  • I do not think this horse is under any animal cruelty; however, i would like to see a little bit more weight on this mare. Sadly, the mare has passed years ago. For her age, she was very well behaved and sweet-loving personality. Just by her behavior, i can tell she was well taken care of and loved.

  • @horselesssleigh 20 hands is not standard for equine world standard is like 15.4 hands or somewhere around there, because my horse is 16hh and that's considered tall so I don't know where you live but on Earth 20hh is NOT stanard.

  • @mighty0521

    15.4 hh? I don't know where you live on earth, but hands high only goes to a decimal of .3... So a 15.4hh horse is technically 16hh.

    Also 16hh is NOT considered tall so once again using your own words, I don't know where you live on earth...

  • i dont see anything tall

  • Plus you can't see her ribs and none of the major bone points (like withers, shoulders, hips) are pointy and protruding. And if she were malnourished, those points would be defined and you could definitely see the ribs.

  • This horse was not malnourished. Horses usually stop maturing around age 5 and start to fill out or finish filling out by age 5. Her coat is shiney. She has good muscle mass. Obviously there is no cruelity involved with this horse. If you want to see what a malnourished horse looks like, look up horses for slaughter/abused pictures and compare. Obviously you don't know a thing about what underweight horses look like and what REAL sick and cruely treated horses look like.

  • she just short

  • I'm sorry but all of you's are twats and know absolutely nothing about horses !

    First of all since it is 3 it is maturing and that means it's body it growing and changing shape so it will look skinny even though it doesn't

    And it's the muscle's on it's leg's that make them look weird so unless you know clear things about horse don't say anything !

  • she doesn't look that big at all tbh..

  • Comment removed

  • She doesn't look underweight at all.

  • you have the title rong , that horse is not the biggiest and couldnt possibly be in the guinness book of records because hes not even close to being the bigeist .

  • she is so beautiful. The legs are messed and she was extremely underweight!

  • what a big baby :) how sad she has passed,,,what did she die from at such a young age?

  • For those of you who are saying she is Skinny and has leg deformities... the leg issues could just be how she is standing... and she is NOT skinny... She is only 3 therefore she is only a baby ... and is still growing

  • @awalrath2 i agree with your statement,

    1. shes not underweight just a young horse

    2. the legs look like tht from how shes standing

    3. the legs could also be like tht from how she was bred/trained some people train their horses to stand with the back legs way back (cant remember the breed, but i think it was a shire horse) but they train them to stand this way for shows

  • @Voodoofox3 Yeah, isn't that stance called "parked out"? It's used with Morgans and Saddlebreds a lot as well.

  • Shires and Clyesdales have been identified to be at risk for chronic progressive lymphedema, a chronic progressive disease that includes symptoms of progressive swelling, hyperkeratosis and fibrosis of distal limbs. The disease is similar to chronic lymphedema in humans. She is not that skinny for her age. I have a 17hh TB who always looks lanky and skinny and he eats well hes only three. Vet said he needs to grow into his body :)

  • The largest horse in recorded history was probably a Shire named Mammoth, who was born in 1848. He stood 21.2 hands (86 inches, 218 cm) high, and his peak weight was estimated at 1,500 kilograms (3,300 lb).

  • heyitslaurenn420 right it looks soo uncomfortable!

  • He doesn't look that tall, and he was also very malnourished... poor thing; all for publicity.

  • @heyitslaurenn420

    the horse isn't malnourished she only a 3 year old horse therefore she still has a lot of growing and fillingout to do. she never will cuz she passed away april of 2008

  • @NativePrideGirl123 She passed away... probably because she was UNDERWEIGHT! Don't stand up for horse cruelty, even with "excuses" to back it up.

  • @heyitslaurenn420

    Its not an excuse it the truth she wasn't underweight i have a 3 year old mare and she looks about the same she gets 13 pounds of hay everyday and about 2 cups of grain and my horse looks the same. Horses finish growing before they start filling out their body with muscle and fat.

  • @heyitslaurenn420 It's stupid people like you who say silly things like that what get people into trouble, unless you have seen it up in person you can't say anything !

  • @heyitslaurenn420 shes 3 years old so she is all gangly cause she is young

  • @heyitslaurenn420 if his ass digs into ur face,then ya, its tall

  • @TheChelsbean23 Her owner says she's growing... actually she's not that thin, can't see any ribs, she just looks stretchy, like a BIG baby! All horses thend to lank out when they grow, this is a good example of that stage.

  • this is a very gorgeous horse, but i noticed that she is awfully narrow. She almost has the same firgure as my horse, very skinny, has a narrow chest, but still a strong, beautiful animal.

  • ya cause they would put her in the guinness book if she was unhealthy.

  • Wooo, she is skinny as hell.

  • jus like 2 say she isnt skinny it jus luks tht way cuz she has alot of muscle which u wud expect frm bigger built horses n as 4 her bak legs yh thy may turn in n be slightly deformed but i had a horse whr her legs were deformed jus the same but she neva had any probs so jus cus she LUKS skinny n has deformed legs dunt mean she int fed or luked afta, if u wna c wht real *abuse* is thn go 2 a shelter for rescued horses n c how skinny they are :( shes a beaut, shame she died bless her x r.i.p x

  • poor horse !

  • i think its dad had sex with a giraffe

  • "its 60 inches" *serious look* (yup thats right, 60 INCHES)

  • How did this GORGEOUS (yet underweight) mare die so young? RIP and run free. Does anyone know who holds the current record ( I think it's Radar but I could be wrong.)

  • Is that your horse?

  • The horse is very skinny and deformed, and I wonder if this contributed to her death at only age 4.

  • Seriously, I wonder if it was already sick and this is why she was so skinny, our horses are so much healthier and fatter than this poor girl, really a concern when people don't feed their animals enough. Wah. RIP

  • wow, I did not even finish reading the description or knew hte horse died :(

  • @Livin2Ridexx where? o.o

  • That horse cant be any bigger then 18hh!

  • he wouldnt have died if you had fed him the appropriate amount for a horse of his size

  • He died??????!!!!

  • this horse is too skinny ! i saw biggest horses , but they were beautiful , this horse is too skinny and that makes he is not a horse ..

  • @fasola8981

    He was still a horse, just a very unhealthy one.

    Very big, if only he'd been fed properly and its a shame he died.

  • the horse looks drugged to me!

  • that horse can't be the worlds tallest. iv'e seen bigger

  • Is the cause of death known?

  • @1rojos it says in the description that she is a English Shire

  • Why is the horse so skinny? in 07 she was 3 so now she is only a 7 yr old. I have seen draft horses in their twenties look better than her. Maybe try getting her checked out by a vet.

  • @kansasfarmgirl77 she died a year later. maybe it was a medical condition.

  • Big Jake was anounsed worlds tallest last year. he's 6 and a half feet tall from foot to shoulder!

  • ya that is not the tallest horse.

  • Im no trying to say thing video is false but that must be before it reached 20.1 hands or those women are very tall as even allowing forperspective as she is at it's head it doesnt seem like an 80 inch animal. Thats well over 6.6ft.

  • @RunninCowgirl post-surgery complications at Auburn University. She was having a leg problem corrected. She laid down post-surgery and never got back up. Horses suffer injury and problems if they lay down too long, especially one as heavy as she was. Not all horses die because they break a leg. It's a common misnomer. Of any non-natural causes (like age), my guess is colic is the leading cause of death.

  • Look at that spot on her hip -shiver- Poor horsy... She might've been the biggest, but for sure not the most healthy around.

  • she looks super skinny!

  • How big? 20 hands omfg

    

  • How big?

  • I would hate to have their feed/hay bill!

  • Ah, How i miss her! Tina was the sweetest horse! She will never be forgotten! :)

  • Pretty long in the Hoof and very high heels..

  • Why the long face

  • @Livin2Ridexx it's called cowhocked

  • thats a loan of rubbish, is that horse is 20 hands then both them women must be extremely talll

  • @alliegirljls13194 She was 20 hands & When she died she was like 23 hands. Marge, The woman who owns her is around 5'8 ish. If you think that's tall okay. But, Tina is the Tallest horse Ever.

  • Isn't that a Shire from 'Jensen's Shires' in Blair, NE?? I thought one of his foals he bred and sold turned out being one of the tallest horses there for a while.. Love those big draft breeds. Just gorgeous!

  • @ubrilliant1 No, I believe she was from the same farm Radar was from.

  • ilovemy, pony why would you hate any horse, you sound like an idiot, maybe your a breed of human we might not like either, looks isnt everything. ive seen ugly ponies but i dont hate them..

  • she is beautiful sorry for the lose tina

  • wow talk about bad conformation...

  • doesnt look very healthy to me =/ if my horses looked like that id be seriously worried! I have had many youngsters that never looked like that....hmmm strange

  • That isn't the biggest horse in the world. I have just watched two quick videos of large horses before this one and both were a LOT bigger than this STANDARD sized horse. The title is most certainly mis-leading on this video.

  • @horselesssleigh Oh yeah right- 20 hands is standard isn't it!

  • @Ilovemypony99 To be honest, I wouldn't even say 20 hands is standard, I say it's quite small. I am glad you agree with me though, you obviously know quite a lot about horses that you agree this 20 hand horse is 'standard'. Thanks for your time.

  • @horselesssleigh *rolls eyes* I was being sarcastic! Although I've just had a thought. Maybe you mean 20 hands is standard in SHIRES...In that case I totally agree. I thought you meant in the equine world overall. In which case 20 hands is very tall. Thanks for your time.

  • @Ilovemypony99 No, you were correct, I was referring to 'the equine world'. This horse, in terms of 'the equine world' is very, very small. In fact, one of the smallest horses I have ever seen that is supposedly classed as 'tall'. You are wrong, this horse is not tall. Thanks and regards.

  • No lie I seem bigger then that honest

  • maybe they're just shot making the horse look huge :P

  • LMFAO@ the dumb bitch under me.

    Your stupidity doesn't surprise me, consdering you own Arabians.

  • @TheLyricGirl10123 Whats wrong with arabians?

  • @Ilovemypony99 They're disgusting. They're the only breed of horse that I hate. Everything about them is ugly.

  • All i got to say is that this horse is WAy too skinny!!!! I own three beautifu arabs and they make this hores look tiny..... Although she is beautiful!!!!

  • @TheChelsbean23 young horses are usually quite skinny, they haven't "bulked out" yet. My 4 year old has only just started to fill out

  • @TheChelsbean23 Aren't Arabs and anglos the best breeds ever? =]

    Oh and this horse is quite young- she hasn't had time to fill out yet. She IS gorgeous though.

  • @Ilovemypony99 Yes Arabs are the best breeds ever!! see only if she is three she should be filled out by now... ik arabs fill out by two

  • Comment removed

  • @charlottelovesearlxx because my Arabs are in better health then this horse. This horse just looks really skinny

  • @charlottelovesearlxx  Skinny is way different then how tall they are...

  • @TheChelsbean23 i think shes old.

  • @TheChelsbean23 There was probably something wrong with her- hence why she died so young.

    

  • @Nitefeatherz i kinda figured this out

  • @TheChelsbean23 yes, it's unfortunate but many americans do not know how to properly feed drafts or how they are supposed to look. the line "easy keeping" for their size, is a myth. they require 2x as much good quality nutrition, more akin to a cow's diet.

  • Respond to this video... duh ik this!!! ik how to proberly feed drafts i have worked with them eny of times!!

  • @TheChelsbean23 especially breeds that come from central europe* originally, i can't speak much on clydes and shires, but for sure perches, belgians, etc

  • @TheChelsbean23 Tina was not an arab, she was an english shire horse...gentle giants :)

  • @TheChelsbean23 It's only 3 so it will be maturing what naturally makes it look skinny even though it isn't !

    And if you have 3 BEAUTIFUL ARABS you should know allot about horses ? Obviously not !

  • All i got to say is that this horse is WAy too skinny!!!! I own three beautifu arabs and they make this hores look tiny.....

  • @TheChelsbean23 I AM SKINNY AS HELL AND I TAKE OFFENSE at such comments!

  • All i got to say is that this horse is WAy too skinny!!!! I own three beautifu arabes and they make this hores look tiny.....

  • Tooken*

  • I don't even think they took care of her properly, to bad she passed, she's gorgeous!

    I tell ya if I would have been on that farm, I would have Ripken much better care

  • Hips are deformed - surgery to correct it went badly and killed the poor animal. My guess would be a hormone imbalance (pituitary tumor, maybe) that led to abnormal growth front and rear, and maybe heart and digestive problems as well. The sore on her side could mean she spent a lot of time laying down, which she would do if her hips couldn't handle her weight.

    This horse may be like people who are over 7 feet tall: if it's a pituitary tumor, they too have medical problems and bone deformities.

  • There was a horse of 2.10 and his name was Samson, he heald the record?

  • I am a equine vet and this horse in in terrible condition. Poor thing is sweating and can barley stand on her back hoofs, also her hips look out of place. I'm guessing this horse died of colic.

  • Shame she passed away..

  • as a pro trainer ,i see this horse in colic ,its protecting its belly, thats why its legs are back like that, if it was bad hips, it would be one hip not both,horses very rarly hurt both hips, as on fitness respect, i see a horse with hugh shoulders and musles, back end could be bigger how ever not bad,its colic i see,please dont reply to me if your not a pro, please ,little girls go have mom and daddy by u new horse, i cant stand people that talk out there ass.

  • @JOKERMITA by the way , the first word the lady says , is that the horse is sweeting out, this horse is colicing 100%, thank you, this horse proablie dead in less then 10 hours of video.

  • the horse may be huge but look at the state of it conformation its appalling! there clearly some inbreeding going on its awful!

  • that horse is in awful condition. it's not old either, it's four- should be in great condition. :(

  • put the smallest dog next to that horse

  • correction i have a horse thats 47 hh and weighs 3 ton his name is tiny,hes a shirehorse i feed him onporridge oats, been offered over 3,000 gbp for him. ha ha

  • that poor horse is in terrible condition!!! she could barely stand on her back legs and was obviously sedated!

  • @katherineS80

    Yes i am with you on that may have had 3 or more ACP plus she has hit her hips at one point maybe thats why she stands funny too 0_o

  • Damn, breath much?

  • theres a horse at my barn and she is 18.2hh and she is BIG her name is lizzi

  • I've saw a horse standing at 19.1hh, his name is Bingo and he is huge but soo gentle and quiet, i has to tack him up for a riding lesson and honestly i had to throw the saddle and hope it would reach his back lol =)

  • I've saw a horse standing at 19.1hh, his name is Bingo and he is at Kingsbarn, he is huge but soo gentle and quiet, i has to tack him up for a riding lesson and honestly i had to throw the saddle and hope it would reach his back lol =)

  • they look like they are sceard of the horse!!!!!!

  • He looks as if he is being abused!! Poor guy <3 <3

  • no wonder it died its in terrible condition :L

  • beautiful shires.

    love them so much

  • @prohorsegirl12 actually ponies are anything equal to or under 14.275. anything above that is a horse.

  • @55jessy55 just tell them that you have less of a falling distance :D

  • I'm sorry she died so young. She was really beautiful.

  • tallest horse on record is a black percheron mesures 21.2 hands.

  • this mare does look as though she had several deformities....sickle hocked, thin, the front legs at the elbow look strange, and she has an extremely narrow chest. She certainly wouldn't have won any conformation classes.

  • @slapurmommaz

    Who in earth cares about conformation classes?????

    Would you yourself pass one?

  • @computerjantje I was being facetious, obviously you didn't catch on about the conformation class comment. I don't think I'd pass one, seeing I'm not a horse, but you never know.

  • that is not a tall horse well it is but its very hard to believe it was on the guinis worlds records book!!!! BUT befor u say anything i dont have proof of that and i could very well be wrong

  • i think radars the biggest horse ryt?

  • @shalome101010

    No Radar is 19hh this horse 20.1hh

    :D

  • what the hell is wrong with it's back end?????? Wobbler?

  • @spaciespongo quite right no hips to go with the rest of a fine horse..

  • @JohndeeTV Thats bcs it's a grl horse. Duh

  • hmm...worls tallest LIVING horse...raely?

    k....well the tallest horse that ever existed was 22 hands

  • THE record now belongs to RADAR!!! i saw him at breyerfest he was huggggeeeee

  • doesn't that horse look a bit skinny?

  • @mukarubayiza Well, It Says Shes 3, Which Means She Still Has Time To Fill Out, She Might Just Have Not Quite Grown Into Her Body Get:)xxx

  • isnt Radar the tallest now

  • @xLavenderDreams radar is and he is more beast to!

  • @ncharrison YES HE IS!! i met him at breyerfest hes likie a frekin dinosaur in disguise man im not even kidding im like HOLY CRAP id hate to get stepped on by him O.O

  • @xLavenderDreams do you people ever read? info said this horse died April 1, 2008...

  • @berglundo lmao i didn't say anything about this horse i was just saying radar is the tallest now i was comparing to other horses not necassarily this one >.>

  • @xLavenderDreams Sry I just react on stuff I find annoying, like myself for example.

  • @xLavenderDreams yeah i think so!

  • @xLavenderDreams Yes, He is the tallest living. Tina is the tallest ever.

  • @xLavenderDreams he is now. this horse was tallest in 2007, which you wouldve seen if you read the description, not to be rude :D

  • HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I CALL IT AN ELEPHANT HORSE!!!

  • Black Beauty.

  • imagine getting on THAT saddle.

  • @dhoamyilnio It does not go up to 19.5 it would be 19.3hh then to 20hh. If the horse is 19 hands, 4 inches tall. Since a hand is equal to four inches, this horse is actually 20 hands tall. Some people incorrectly use the number after the period to stand for fractions of a hand, but it should stand for inches. So, some people write "19.5" to mean 15 and a half hands, but this should correctly be written as "19.2".
