The Tallest Horse in the World

ECNS, October 1 -- According to reports by Hong Kong's Wen Hui Bao, a farm in Ontario, Canada, is home to the world's tallest horse named "Po". Standing at a height of 2.08 meters from hoof to shoulder and weighing approximately 1.27 tons, it is 5 centimeters taller than the world's tallest recorded horse in the Guinness World Records located in Texas, USA.

Moreover, when "Po" raises its head, its full height reaches 3.05 meters. It consumes two large bundles of hay, 4.5 kilograms of grain, and drinks about 284 liters of water daily.

"Po" is ten years old and has now become a favorite at local exhibitions. Its owner, Ms. Thompson, resides on a farm in Ontario, Canada. She said that "Po" behaves like a "real little dog" at exhibitions. However, she mentioned that sometimes when it wants to play or chase something and drags her around, it seems to forget its massive size, making it impossible for the owner to keep up.
