Big and Tall Horses from all over the world are the topic of today’s podcast. History has shown us that the big breeds of the past and of the present were created to not only help us in the fields but make some great riding companions. We look to Guinness’s book of records to find the tallest living horse as well as some monstrous horses from the past. So how big is big? 21 hands high? maybe 3300 lbs? This is just a sample of the biggest horse ever. With a name like Mammoth you better be big. Join Heather as she shares some of the biggest and tallest horse breeds in the world in EQA episode # 237. 

Extinct Horse breeds from all over the world some are 2000 plus years old. Although there are many horse breeds in the world a few were not so lucky. Most of the world’s oldest breeds were eradicated by interbreeding, cross-breeding, and simply the loss of use due to machines.  Some of these breeds were created in the last 200 years and some date back well into the BC era. Join Heather on a history lesson on extinct horse breeds from around the world.
