POYNETTE, Wis. (AP) - When people tell Jerry Gilbert to get off his high horse, they will mean it—literally. His 9-year-old Belgian gelding named Big Jake is the Guinness World Record-holder for world's tallest living horse at 20 hands, 2.75 inches or one quarter inch short of 6-foot-11. That's 2.75 inches taller than the previous record-holder, a Clydesdale from Texas named Remington.

That's a big horse, but I find it silly that they compare it to a miniature horse.

Gorgeous horse. I love the Belgians, Clydesdales, Perchies, etc. Magnificent animals!
