When people tell Jerry Gilbert to get off his high horse, they will mean it — literally. His 9-year-old Belgian gelding named Big Jake is the Guinness World Record-holder for world's tallest living horse at 20 hands, 2.75 inches or one quarter inch short of 6-foot-11. That's 2.75 inches taller than the previous record-holder, a Clydesdale from Texas named Remington.

Gilbert is co-owner of Smokey Hollow Farm near Poynette. He said he received notification from the Guinness World Records in England in late March.

20.3 hands. =D Unfortunately, there are no pictures on the link.
