Looking for a Draft Horse? Consider the Beautiful Belgian!
Draft horses are large, muscular creatures bred for heavy pulling work. They are made for power, not for speed, and are substantially larger than what most people imagine when they think of an everyday horse. As its name implies, the Belgian horse hails from Belgium. This equine can get as large as one ton, which is 2000 pounds. This breed boasts the largest horse in the world, a powerhouse named Radar who stands 19.35 hands or 6 feet, seven inches. His weight is more than 2400 pounds. While Radar is the largest horse in existence right now, the largest in history was named Brooklyn Supreme and weighted 3200 pounds. There’s no doubt about it — these horses are massive. See Belgian Horse on video here
