Watch: Despite previous neglect, Britain's tallest horse stands at whopping 10ft

Meet Sovereign, Britain's tallest horse who stands at a whopping 10 ft. The six-year-old shire horse measures just under 21 hands from his hoof to the withers at the bottom of his neck – the equivalent of just under 7 ft but the top of his head stands a staggering 10ft above the ground. Four years ago, he was so neglected and underweight it would have taken a slight push to send him to the ground but now, thanks to his new owner Paul Evans, he stands proud as the tallest horse in Britain.
