It used to be Goliath, but now it's Radar. He's a Belgian that is 19 Hands, 3 1/2 Inches tall (6'7 1/2" at the withers) and weighing almost 2700 lbs.

Goliath and Radar aren't the tallest horses, those two may hold the record for being the largest horses still living but not the largest horse in history.

The tallest horse in history a Shire named Sampson. He measured just over 21.2hh - http://www.colemangallery.com/Images...r_Cockerel.jpg

Dr. Le Gear was a Percheron, stood at 21 Hands tall and weighed 3,024lb. http://www.ruralheritage.com/horse_paddock/horse_large_lg.jpg

and this horse...
This boy is a Percheron/ARABIAN(!!!) Cross!!! was 21.2 hands

This is just some research I've done, and learned off some people who provided pictures.

Here are some other pics of tall horses I've found

I also believe it to be cruel and a sad sight to stick those horses, or any horse at that in a small pen to be stared at each day.

Actually Goliath is dead. Radar is only the tallest horse alive today in the book of records. It was on the news if you want extra proof.
