Draft Horses: Powerful Giants #DraftHorses #HorseCompetition

[elfiefromangelcity]

Draft horses are gentle giants, and make wonderful riding horses. The reason they aren't ridden is that not everybody wants to be doing the splits while riding. Secondly, lots of people who ride nowadays do it for sports, so they'd rather ride horses built for jumping. Personally, I'm not into the sports. I'd rather have a gentle companion, and would take a draft horse any day.

That black horse is an absolute UNIT

edit: his neck looks like it has more muscles than my entire body

That black draft horse is the reason we rate car engines in "Horse He's built different

Draft horses scare the living bejezus out of me. Anything THAT big, THAT powerful, THAT beautiful, gets my complete and total respect and awe.

I’ll never forget watching a team of draft horses pull a full-size semi truck, in the winter, on ice, pulling a truck out of the ditch. The tow truck kept sliding on the ice and couldn’t pull the truck out. But the team of draft horses had no problem.

"Oh the one with the glasses and the labcoat? -- she's an experimental horse."

If any horse decides you’re not his friend, you’re not winning that battle. Draft horses see people as friend shaped more often than regular horses. Very gentle

I was taking jumping and dressage lessons 30 years ago and the school had one Belgian draft horse who I rode quite often. I'm tall with long legs so I a good match for her. That horse was soooo smooth and very responsive. She was a dream to ride. Of course, even at a trot the entire ring would shake. LOL. I love that horse, she was a true gentle giant.

Draft horses look like the bodybuilders of horses.

I cant. Those horses are just unimaginably huge. Its like something out of a fantasy game, like Warhammer. They're just enormous.

A friend of mine had a Percheron. I loved that horse. He’d run beside my blazer up the hill and go into his stall so I could hug his head when he put it over the stall door. Coolest horse ever! He was 2200 lbs.

If you ever get a chance to see a “horse pull” at a fair ….its inspiring, amazing, these horse literally dig their hooves in the dirt to get leverage. Just incredible

I literally clicked on this video because of how shredded that black horse looked in the thumbnail.

"once their emotions become unstable, they become very difficult to control" that... Literally sums up every horse breed 😂

I'm 53 years old. How am I just now seeing these incredible horses for the first time?

That draft horse is so jacked it'd win in a bodybuilding competition

My uncle works Percherons.. they saved his life.. he was severely injured, able to get on the sled.. the horses took him home .. without guidance. Love the gentle giants.

Most draft horses have a very calm disposition.

I never thought I'd be blown away by a horse, but here we are. What beautiful powerful animals.

Idk why but I've always really liked the look of horses with hair on their hoofs and the back of their legs.
