STORY: From Britain's tallest horse to a giant hairdryer, the Guinness World Records have honoured more record breakers with their latest edition of the famous annual publication, some of whose new entries were announced on Thursday (September 10).

The records include Ruth Amos from northern England who is behind the largest working hairdryer. Built using an industrial fan, heating elements and a hand-shaped outer shell, the finished hair dryer measures 1.7556 m long x 1.6 m tall and is capable of actually drying hair.

Hugo, a four-year-old Shire horse from Towcester, Northamptonshire, holds the new Guinness World Records title for the tallest horse living, measuring 199 cm (6 ft 6.3 in). Hugo’s height was officially assessed by experts, with the horse measured without shoes to ensure an accurate result.

Miranda Worby from Lowestoft in the United Kingdom has the largest collection of My Little Pony memorabilia with 4550 items. 43-year-old Miranda’s love of My Little Pony began when she was just three years old.

Emma Phillips, a New Zealander currently based in the UK, took the record for the most foot juggling spins of a table in 30 seconds – 77 spins.

Other records from around the world include:

· Andrea Marazzi (Italy) – Narrowest driveable car – 50.20cm (19.76in)

· Phoenix Giselle Hicks (USA) - Youngest yoga instructor (female) - 5 years and 337 days old
