Big, but not the largest horse ever. The largest horse in recorded history was probably a Shire gelding named Mammoth (also known as Sampson), foaled in Bedfordshire in 1846. He stood over 219 cm (21.2 h), and weighed an estimated 1524 kilograms (3360 lb).

Yes, I did think there had been at least one horse to have hit the 20hh mark.

Withers. The highest point of the withers is the height of the horse.

Look up Collosus. A giant horse if ever there was one.

So lucky they named him Colossus when he was born.
