There are some pretty enormous horses out there, and even a medium-sized horse can seem like a giant to most of us! But what happens when horses get fat? And how big is the world’s fattest horse?...
As we all know, there are many different types and breeds of horses. These range from hot-blooded horses, such as Thoroughbreds and Arabians, through to cold-blooded breeds like draft horses and hairy ponies..
So, as we’ve learned, the world’s fattest horse could have weighed over 1,500kg and would have eaten over 30kg of hay per day. Luckily, our domesticated horses weigh a third of this amount, and are much cheaper to feed!...
