This isn't a Clydesdale.
It's a Shire horse—the largest horse breed on Earth.
The tallest Shire horses can stand over 2.1 meters (7 feet) tall and weigh more than 1,200 kg (2,600 lb).
Originally bred in England to pull heavy loads and work farmland, these gentle giants are known for their incredible strength and surprisingly calm temperament.
