The Belgian breed is known for being one of the strongest and most powerful horse breeds in the world. The tallest horse to have ever lived was a shire horse named Sampson, or Mammoth, who in 1850 was measured to be about 7 feet 2 inches tall (86.2 inches or 219 cm), according to Guinness World Records.At the other end of the scale are ponies and miniature horses. A pony is an adult horse that is shorter than 4 feet 10 inches (147 cm), according to Encyclopedia Britannica. A miniature horse is even smaller, at less than 3 feet 2 inches (97 cm) tall. The shortest horse ever recorded by Guinness World Records was a miniature horse named Thumbelina, who was measured to be just 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) tall before she died in 2018.How fast can a horse run?Horses racing at the Sha Tin Racecourse on May 8, 2021 in Hong Kong.

Hooves are made of keratin, which is the same protein that makes human fingernails, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica. Like fingernails, hooves never stop growing and need to be trimmed. Horse owners often attach metal horseshoes to the bottom of their horse's hooves to protect the hooves from wear.
