They're gonna need a bigger cinch.

For what it's worth, Niota is 1,029,600 hands from Chattanooga.

Ya know...save and horse and all.

For those of us who don't know a horse hand from a hay bale, just how big is a "hand?"
Posted by: Cheesewiz | July 31, 2007 at 10:42 AM
five fingers worth?
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 10:43 AM
well cheesewhiz, depends on who you ask, male or female cause you just know the guys gonna lie.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 31, 2007 at 10:45 AM
4 inches
Posted by: casey | July 31, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Cheesewiz, the average hand is about 5'10". Unless he had tall parents.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 31, 2007 at 10:47 AM
thanks Siouxie that really helps a lot. I can now go with confidence to the next horse auction.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | July 31, 2007 at 10:49 AM
[----------] = average "hand" = six inches
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 10:49 AM
No pics necessary, casey. It looks kinda like a big horse.
Posted by: SW | July 31, 2007 at 10:50 AM
it's the perfect wedding gift for this guy.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 31, 2007 at 10:52 AM
It might be one of these two . . .

No fair - the Tennesee shire needs a trimming and he's wearing lifts.

The category of largest horse's rear is still open, but most of the potential record holders are either already in or hoping to be in Washington, DC.
Posted by: Bill Hudgins | July 31, 2007 at 12:36 PM
Bill, good point. Gender & race not being an issue this year.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 12:54 PM
um, bfd? and i'd also be more interested in the biggest, ahem. rider. gives new meaning to 'hung' like a horse, i guess.
Posted by: queensbee | July 31, 2007 at 01:20 PM
queensbee, if you scroll up a bit, that was my thought, etc. ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 01:35 PM
Oh great! Guinness could give a dead Edgar's rear end about the world's largest pierogi but THIS they care about. Making a pierogi takes skill and finesse. How much skill does it take to give birth to a large horse?
Posted by: DaChew | July 31, 2007 at 02:48 PM
I think the mama horse might disagree with you there, DaChew.

The idea behind measuring a horse in "hands" is that most people have roughly the same width of hand, about 4 inches, and that way someone without a measuring tape (like a cowboy on the range) can measure a horse.
