Giant horse becomes centre of netizens’ attention July 15, 2021 ANNAPOLIS, Maryland: Phantom, a 7-year-old Shire breed who lives at a rescue center, is getting a lot of attention after a TikTok video showcasing his towering, nearly 7-foot height brought in more than 11 million views. Although Shires (a British breed) are generally tall, Phantom’s soaring stature is still unusual, as the largest rarely clear 6 feet, foreign media reported. “We can’t take Phantom anywhere without crowds coming over to stand next to him and get a picture of the giant horse,” Lauren Nation, director of development at Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue in Mount Airy, Maryland, told Newsflare. “Many people can’t believe there are horses as big as him.”
