Holy horse meat! Just his NECK is a very large horse!

And that was taken in the days before photo-shopping, so that fellow is really all that and then some.

He looks like a total sweetie -- a big, pudgy sweetie.

[Petstorejunkie]

oh wow! A Hippo Horse!

[Ace]

Honest question: though the pic was clearly taken before photoshopping days, couldn't the photo be altered now? I hope not - I love Petstorejunkie's naming it "Hippo Horse."

[Highflyer]

Sure, it could be. But I'm assuming OP found the original photo, or that it was printed in a book/ magazine etc.

Hahahaha, love it!

Is that a Brabant?

[paulaedwina]

Looks like a Suffolk Punch stallion (yup, I have a thing for draft horses and play this identify-the-breed game alot). See this link http://www.ponybox.com/news_details....k-Punch&id=604 scroll down about halfway to the small pictures of the stallions -especially 3rd from left.

Look s like a Brabant to me.

[AffirmedHope]

I want one.

[HungarianHippo]

first thought was Suffolk Punch too. If he's not a chestnut, though-- hard to tell in B/W but looks like a true brown rather than a dark chestnut-- that would rule out Suffolk Punch, oui?

[paulaedwina]

I guess. Like you say; BW it is hard to tell. Cool horsie though.

Holy neck, Batman!

Makes you wonder how far it can turn it's head.

No 'riding on the vertical' with that fellow, LOL!

I found it on Facebook, actually, and the caption I forgot to copy (and can't get to right now) claims it's a Percheron, but I agree that it looks like a Brabant.

[Chief2]

Oh, wow! It's too fat!

[Bluey]

That is a horse you don't want to buy by the lb.

That thick makes me think that maybe some IR could be involved, not just breed characteristics and/or too fat?

Horse has some bone to him.
Would be interesting to see that horse moving.

[charismaryllis]

total cuddlebunny!

[analise]

I don't know about that, Bluey, this is (Brabant) what I thought of when I first saw him: http://trekpaard-hengstenhouderij.nl...onarius_10.jpg

Okay, that's not the exact horse I thought of, but I can't find the picture of the one I wanted so that will have to do. But yeah, it would be interesting to see how much of that is muscle and how much is jiggle when he moves.

[Freebird!]

Apparently that photographer liked Bigguns: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...13474668_n.jpg

[Superminion]

Is he still a stud?

Impressive, but I'm not sure I'd want him on my feed bill!

[paulaedwina]

Unless he was part of a costume party that horse is loooooong dead.
