🐴 What is your favorite thing about Draft Horses?
Absolutely gorgeous horses, country side and especially you!!!
I have two clydesdales and there’s nothing like them… Totally enjoyed your video… thank You 😊
My Favorit horse
We've had our 8 year old Shire mare since she was a 4 months old filly. We wanted another Morgan filly, but Vivana (Shire) had other ideas and chose us during a visit to a county fair. We initially went there seeking another Morgan filly, but there weren't any there. The Morgan mare and the Shire mare are the same age and they're best buddies. The Shire mare is more people friendly than the Morgan mare though. She'll do anything that's asked of her. The Morgan mare not so much.
Wonderful movie. Inspiring and moving. Thank you for helping document the history. And I love your infectious laughter— shares your joy in being around and riding these wonderful horses.
Great job!!! Heart warming, informative and your delight in horses is infectious!
Impresionante 👌
Their gentleness and their soul. ❤️🌻🌈
What a beautiful video I really enjoyed it thank you for sharing this with us
💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing, I felt like I was there with you. Many Blessings To All
Thank you! Such a wonderful quest to pursue. 🙏💜🇺🇸
I'm watching this with a huge smile on my face! I love these stunning horses. I'm fortunate enough to have ridden several Clydesdales over the years, as well as a Shire-cross. They are so much fun, and beautiful too. A truly heartwarming film. Thank you!
In Wallonië there is also the 'Ardenner', a smaller draughthorse, used for pulling logs out of the forest. Try 'Vlaamse patat'.
Congratulations 👏
Bravo
Perfect 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️

This was so beautiful, thank you.
Did I miss it? I am wondering why so many of the Belgium horses have their tails docked so high. No swatting flies for them, eh?
Some of the Belgium horses appear to have had their tails docked? Are some of the horses born with short tails? Cheers, your platform is essential viewing as I live alone, and mostly stay at home.
I love draft horses, they are gentle giants, so calm and very affectionate. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to ride a clydesdale along a large beach in Australia, south of Coffs Harbour. We then rode into town and had lunch at a pub. The horses were tied up outside the pub. Then we rode back again along the beach. The horse took it all in his stride, he wasn't spooked by anything. His name was Clyde. I'll never forget it, one of the best experiences of my life. 🐎🥰
What amazing horses!
They are real Gentle Giants.
Sooo beautiful 🐴❤
Awesome video!
Soooo beautiful!!!! What a perfect farm and life!!! ❤️❤️❤️
