Which horse has been one of the tallest?
My wife asked me what was one of the tallest horses in the Sim. I have some well into 16 hands, but didn’t know an answer. Figured I would ask the community. Thanks

I think 17 hands may be the tallest they can be. I don't know if there has been bigger horses earlier in the sim.

Re: Which horse has been one of the tallest?
Someone else asked this question maybe a couple of years ago. 17 hands is the tallest they will be now. But, if I remember correctly, in the earlier SIM, there were some taller, like 17.1, 17.2, ect. Not sure if any ever hit 18 hands.

Re: Which horse has been one of the tallest?
I have one 17.2 in real life. Can confirm that’s a looong way to fall (he got spooked by wallabies frequently as a young horse)
My biggest in the game was Giant. 17hh for him

Admittedly I'm thinking of her because her race is this weekend. But looking her up Empire Rose was 17.1 and 635kg (approx 1400 pounds) she won the 1988 Melbourne Cup despite the fact her body was behind the other horse but her big nose was in front right on the line!

If you google 1988 Melbourne Cup photo the photofinish will come up and it is genuinely fascinating particularly her size in comparison lol
There is a Gr.1 race named in her honour in Melbourne this weekend.
