He weighs in at 1.3 tonnes and could one day tip the scales at 1.5 tonnes. He takes an eight-foot cover and his Australian owner is getting him used to a ladder to make getting into the saddle a little easier.<P>
In short, Noddy has one mighty body.</P><P>
Noddy, who has just turned five, is almost certainly the world's tallest horse, standing 20.1 hands at the withers. His height - that's 81 inches, or 2.057m - puts him a full inch (2.5cm) taller than Tina, a Shire horse officially listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's tallest.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/news/2008/04/086.shtml"><P>
It seems that Noddy's owner, Jane Greenman, has plenty more of Noddy to look forward to in the future: Heavy horses continue to grow to the age of seven and it is possible the gelding will put on another 200kg before he's fully grown.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/news/2008/04/086.shtml">
Jane bought Noddy as a six-month-old foal when she became interested in training a heavy horse to do work around her 40-acre farm </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CAD3FA99-43E2-4672-8D7F-45E94FFF516B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
