Belgian gelding Big Jake has a secure place in the Guinness Book of Records. At 82.75 inches (210.2 cm), he’s the world’s tallest horse.
Even when Big Jake was born, he was a towering figure and weighed 240 pounds (108 kilos), which is heavier than most adult humans. The 11-year-old stallion lives on Smokey Hollow Farms in Wisconsin and his owner Jerry Gilbert describes him as having a great temperament.
“He’s got a great personality. He’s very friendly. He loves to play around and play with people’s hair, and he’s kind of a good jokester,” said Jerry Gilbert.
When people see Big Jake for the first time, they often become completely quiet and it takes them a while to realize how big he actually is. And given his size, it’s nice that he has such a friendly personality…
After I watched the video below, I have to say, Big Jake looks like an incredibly lovable horse. And it’s hard not to be impressed by this majestic creature.
Please share this video if you also want to congratulate Big Jake on his title as the world’s largest horse.
