It is certain that all of you have seen a lot of horses in real life, whether are they little or fully grown and I am even more certain about the fact that all of you have your own preferences. A lot of times people go with the idea that bigger a horse is, better and more appealing it will be to people. Well, if we go by that logic, then it is for sure that.
Jake is probably one of the most amazing horses, given his size which makes him one of the biggest horses in the world, leave alone his unique beauty which is just another great reason why he is so admired. Although most of the times I disagree with people who believe that bigger horses create a greater impact, I think it is the case with Jake or maybe it is just a matter of personal preferences.
Big Jake was crowned by the Guinness World Records as the tallest living horse on the planet. When he was born, Jake weighed 240 pounds. Today, he’s a 14-year-old Belgian Gelding horse who stands at nearly 6 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs a whopping 2,600 pounds! He’s owned by one very lucky man (who certainly has his hands full), and that’s Jerry Gilbert of Smokey Hollow Farms in Poynette, WI.
Though he towers over everything and everyone in sight, Jerry describes Big Jake as a gentle giant with a heart as big as his body. He loves people, he loves attention, and he loves goofing off. He simply has an intimidating size, but on the other hand, he is one of the most adorable animals that you can meet. This is another misleading for big horses. Non-horsey people find them intimidating and also dangerous because they believe that horses of this size might cause a lot of problems but in fact, they are as tender and gentle as any other horse. After all, they are still horses, just bigger in size compared to other horses. Please watch the video below and get to know him.
