Miss Thompson, herself just 5ft 3in, said: “We want to get the Guinness guys here as soon as possible. We have known for a while that he could be the tallest horse in the world, we just need to get the official documents from the Guiness World Records in London.” Poe weighs an astounding 1.5 tons and stands 10 feet tall with his head raised; he consumes a massive two bales of hay, 10lb of grain and 75 gallons of water each day. The huge Clydesdale used to work as a dray horse in Ontario, pulling a cart filled with crates of beer. Nowadays, Miss Thompson displays the equine giant to amazed onlookers.
