How tall was the Thoroughbred race horse Barbaro?

Question

How many hands high was he? I can't seem to find info on this. Please provide a link to your source, if possible.

Answer 1

Unless they buried him on his back with his legs sticking up i doubt if he is more than 3 feet tall right now. Isnt it time we stopped talking about this horse as if he was the saviour of horse racing and just let him rest.

Answer 2

16.2 hands

Answer 3

I'm not sure of his actual height, but looking at a lot of the pictures of him and comparing him to backgrounds/people he looks like he is just over 16 hands.

Answer 4

Around 15 hands.  Age wise, a healthy horse can live into his 20s.  One of the oldest I ever heard about was 28.

Answer 5

50 elmers glue bottles
