My great-great-grandfather was six feet ten inches tall, weighed over four hundred pounds, and rode around on a mule.
During the Civil War, Confederate General John Hunt Morgan traded my great-great-grandfather the mule for his horse (a cross between a Thoroughbred and a draft horse). Neither side would let him join up due to his huge size (he would make an awfully big target), so he spent most of the war riding back and forth between the two sides as a neutral courier and a mailman.
