In a battle of the titans, a U.S. Clydesdale, a U.K. Shire, and an Australian Shire might all be contenders for the title of World’s Largest Living Horse.

In 2007 a Tennessee Shire named Tina captured the title, but she died in 2008 (read more). The tallest documented (not living) was Sampson, a Shire foaled in England in 1846. He stood 21 hands and 2 _ inches. He was also recorded as the most massive, at 3,aaep-20060 lb!

Now the beer folks are heading back to Texas this week to measure Remington, a Dallas-area Clyde, according to The Dallas Morning News
