What is the heaviest horse?
|
The shire horse is the heaviest horse breed. A full-grown animal is more than 1.7 metres tall at the shoulder. Shire horses were originally bred in England and used for ploughing and pulling heavy loads. Today, working shire horses have been replaced by machines. They are now kept mainly for show. | | Shire horses were bred for ploughing and pulling heavy loads |
