Tallest horse being trained for Queen's Jubilee Celebrations

The tallest horse of Britain is being trained to be a Drum Horse at Queen's Jubilee parade. The horse is 8 years old and measures close to 9 feet. The horse will be with the Household Cavalry in Hyde Park Barracks.He's very docile and well behaved. The giant Clydesdale eats up to four stones of food per day and guzzles 25 gallons of water.

Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment officer Alex Owen said :

"It is hoped he will be able to take part in the Jubilee celebrations, however, he needs to put on more weight to be able to carry the silver drums."

It takes 18 months to train a Drum Horse and once they pass out they will be given the name of a Greek God.
