Some of the draft breeds can produce absolute monsters. Imagine seeing a horse for the first time…now imagine it was one of these animals.

This one just keeps getting bigger
I just have one thing to say: that is One HUGE Horse!
these horses are beautiful. at my barn we hau an 18 hand draft named Midnight or cokiemonster!!!!
I started “horse” riding when I was 4. At the time even a Haflinger poney looked like a moutain, but it felt reassuring, conforting, and now I love draft horses for their hugeness and their very kind temper : they’re poneys for grown ups !
I love these horses. I own a percheron shire cross stallion, who is 18.3 hands. I can say from experience, they really are big babies. If you’re going to have a stallion get a coldblood
Just wanted to say thank you so much for using my photo on this! 🙂 The Cosmopolitan Horse Farm photo is of a Drum horse stallion named Chalk. He is about 16.3hhs tall and quite large. If you want to see a really huge horse check out the large black Shire named Paladin. I believe he’s close to 18hhs, easy, but such a love!
I guess they have to be if they’re so large.
your horses are beautiful!!!!! I wish that i had a horse just like that,because i dont have a horse at all.I am a little girl looking at websites and i found yours.I was always told we are so poor that i will never get a horse.I am at a friends house writing this because i dont have a computer in my home.
WELL I GUESS I STILL CAN DREAM. 🙂
Valerie – The drum stallion is magnificent and your photo is fantastic. Thanks for letting me use it. I’ll check Paladin out, I love the gentle giants!
Erica – Keep dreaming, sometimes that is all it takes. 🙂
wow there huge I have never rode a big horse like these but i have rode a 16.3hh horse!there so pretty!
these horses are beautiful! A friend of mine owns a shire stud farm, they’re biggest horse is 18.2hh and he is so gentle and sweet.

These horses are not nasty.They are cool.
I started riding when i was 1 or 2 years old. I have a horse of my own and she is about 10 or 11 hands tall.She is a smoth ride when she trots or runs.Any way i think these drafts are big cool horses.
wow they are huge, i would love a horse. But first we would have to win the lottery Im 8 years old
