I love my booba. He is so smart *kissies* That does NOT look like a Belgian. Where is the source for this picture?
And what's this six foot seven shit that Guinness keeps feeding everyone. Convert it into hands like it's supposed to be. We're looking at a horse that is 19 hands and three inches. That's a big horse. That's a much bigger horse than appears in this photo. Also for what it's worth there are other horses out there over 20 hands as a rule. Maybe my math is wrong so I am gonna the basics so you can double check it for me but every hand is four inches. And so there are three hands in one foot. So from 6'7" I got 19.3. That's a typical height for a draft horse. I mean, yeah, a little big for a Belgian but not gigantic. I'll do more research on draft sizes and get back to yeah but Guinness, you need to hire me.
And notice the carriage horse in the background. Its obviously pulling something and yet the horse isn't hitched to anything. Also it's your typical light breed horse. Probably a discarded Standardbred racehorse. I think this photo has been doctored and Thumbelina put in central park with cart horses or even photographed there while doing her charity work. That "Belgian" looks an awful lot like a Percheron cross very popularly used as carriage horses to pull tourists around with. My thought is that this not the actual photo that is going into the Guinness book of world records. For a few reasons. One, they want you to BUY the book so they wouldn't release the photo. Two, there are far better angles to take a photo of a horse from to make it look mammoth sized. This is NOT one of them. The photo wants to illustrate that vast difference between the two equines and this one does not do it. And three it's just a shit photo. The composition sucks. I hope this is not what they're including in their professional book. Looks like sidewalk press stuff to me.
And this myth is busted :D Muuuwhahahahahaha! You can't fool me! I'll debunk any horse myth, anywhere, from anywhom!
Oh...and if you wanna see and read about what a Belgian really is go here. It's just a quick link I dug up but it's pretty acurate:
You don't mess with the one time individual local AND regional horse bowl high point champion, bitches! I went to States! I coulda won two if I actually applied myself instead of simply relying upon my scary ability to absorb anything horse related.
