This Shire horse was born in 1846 in the county of Bedfordshire in England. Sampson weighed in at 3,360 pounds and 7 feet tall, when he was just four years old!

I visited the Bass Brewery museum in East Midlands 20 years ago. They had one Shire in the stable behind the Museum. Massive. Hooves the size of dinner plates.
