I know nothing about horses...  All I know is without a Gel seat, and Rokshox for a front suspension, they are a bumpy off-road ride.... Too bad they aren't manufactured in Double-butted Chromoly steel.... They have more rigid frames than  Aluminum, Titanium, and Graphite frames....  Sort've like the Basso Fiberglass frames... I'll stick with my GT Zaskar LE.... Shimano XT Comp..

He sounds like an over grown puppy. Someone just sent me the funniest horse
clip- I'm trying to figure out how I can post it. Some lady was showing how docile her horse was by walking under him from front to back in a crouch. She was coming out from between his back legs and he pooped on her head. Really funny - I'm sick I know.
sounds like my last ex....she is a poop-head and likes horses. LMAO

If you had my email you could sent it to me, but my email addy is a highly guarded secret that I only give out to my most trusted buddies and the very cutest of women. LMAO

Jeanne, smaller horses under 150 lbs can go UPS..


<just make certain you write "hoof" bottom....  and "Head"  Top... on the horses box !   UPS needs to know this !   and put orange rind in the box with the horse,  so the heat doesn't dehydrate it...also holes must be poked in the box so it can look at the computers, and Overstock.Com items that are shipped adjacent to it on the shelf,  not to mention the Russian Mail order brides... Yet often they go Fed Ex...>

World's Largest Horse's
The world's largest horse was a purebred Beligan stallion who went by Brooklyn Supreme.He stood at 19.2 hands tall (6'6")at his withers.Brooklyn weighed over 3,200 pounds he is entered in the Guiness Book Of Worlds Records.Brooklyn was foaled(or born)in 1928 and died in 1948.These are some of the breeds recorded as the largest horses.Percheron 21 hands 3,940,Suffolk 21 hands 2,810,Shire 19.2 hands 2,005 and his name was King,Breed unknown 21.1 hands 2,976 his name was Firpon.Those are the largest horses in the world that are recorded.



21 hands.  How tall would that horse be measured to the top of it's head ?  about 9-10 feet ?  I've never seen anything NEAR that large in terms of a horse.

That's a HUGE horse Steven....I Googled him up and looked at his pic.

Well, it looks like the pony has a new home...A good friend of mine at work is coming over this evening to scope him out.....He's an older guy who has 4 quarter horses....He complains that they ride too ruff for his old back and he wants to sell them and buy a walking horse......So I told him to hitch up his trailer and come get him free of charge.

When he shows up tonight, I'll show him exactly what to expect....The old man will be impressed how the horse don't have to be caught and how loving he is. He lives way out in the middle of nowhere with about 200 acres, so the horse will be fine in his hands....He says  I need to meet his 34 year old daughter...He claims she's divorced and good looking. LMAO....I'll check her teeth and legs and see how she does with a saddle.....Hell, we might make a trade. :dancin:

See if he's willing to trade his daughter and some cash, as barter for the horse!  Remember, when you approach a strange woman, slowly enter her personal space perpedicular to her shoulder... That way she won't kick you.  swing a rope too...

Nope, it's best to sneak up from behind and just jump on..Women don't have eyes on to sides of their head like horses, so they can't see what's directly behind them like a horse can.....You can use a rope, but a short whip is mo-better for rodeo. LMAO

21 hands is right at 7 feet, IIRC.

And that's at the withers, or shoulders, for those of us that don't speak the lingo, no?

So that guy's probably around 6' tall!!

HUGE HORSE!!!

I think Wither's refers to highest point of the shoulder doesn't it ?  So all in all, add a neck and head and ears onto that horse,  and it's probably 9 feet or so ?  not sure... They really should have lightening rod's at that height, and rotating beacons so airplanes don't crash into the top of the animal.
