Brooklyn "Brookie" Supreme was a red roan Belgian stallion noted for his extreme size. Although disputed, the horse may be the world record holder for largest horse and was designated the world's heaviest horse. He stood 19.2 hands tall and weighed 3,200 lb (1,451.5 kg) with a girth of 10 ft 2 in (3.10 m). Each of his horseshoes required 30 in (76 cm) of iron.

The American Belgian Draft is an American breed of draft horse. It derives from the draft horses of Belgium but, as a result of isolation and different selective breeding, became genetically distinct from them in the early part of the twentieth century. It is generally taller and less heavily built, and has a very different distribution of coat colors.
