"Once you go draft, you don't go back!"

The elegant technology of the past...don't write it off!!!

Beautiful horses . I went to a heavy horse show a few years ago and they had Australias largest percheron there. He stood 19.3 hh and ate more food in one day than my 11 horses together...

I'm leasing a Percheron/Paint X and he is the most sweetest, quiet horse I've ridden.

I would love to drive a 6 horse team! :)

[markeysharkey]

Clydes are alot better

[16handsoffunfunfun]

@markeysharkey

No they are not!

[ElementalAtHeart]

Our boys are like that..."are you SURE you want to go that far haw?" Anyone know of any good books or websites on draft braids with LOTS of pictures?

i Love Percherons

[guinnessdressage789]

i have a percheron but she does dressage:)

check out my channel!

[KentuckyGiant]

Ha-ha I did check out your channel. You are so tiny and your horse is a giant monstor! LOL amazing how you can control such a beast. Others finding this message, guiness' video of her and her horse is a must see.

@KentuckyGiant :) I can relate, I'm about 5'4 and small, and my mare that passed away was a perch. Originally doing carriage work, I also did some dressage and other riding with her.

It's actually a lot more relaxing then riding my saddle horses i find.

Our big guys ( well mostly girls ) are all sooo laid back and not much bothers them.

You can accomplish a lot with a draft horse under saddle, they all have something they love to do :)

[AmblinCowgirl]

We ride our Percheron's!

We have 8 of them now, and all the ones broke for harness are also broke to ride! Nice video! :)

[KentuckyGiant]

Thanks for the great comment. Not many people actually ride Percheron's. I wanna try it sometime!

[dabatjelly]

my favorite horse of all time... they're a trip to ride... XD

[KentuckyGiant]

Wow! Ride one? Haha I can see it now. Rather than sitting on the horse with it between your legs, you just sit on top.

Be careful that you don't become bowlegged. Ha-ha just kidding!

[dabatjelly]

yep... I use to do rehabilitate abused warm blood and draft horses... usually don't have saddles for them so I usually rode bareback... amazing animals... =D

here's even a better visual... I'm only 5'3"... so I barely come up to their elbows... I have to use a three or four step ladder to get on... hahahaha... XD

[KentuckyGiant]

OMG be careful. That's a fall I'd rather not ever EVER see!

[jcmegabyte]

Beautiful animals - and such amazing maneuverability, too! Nice show :D

[KentuckyGiant]

It was the technical skill of the driver that made me find this most interesting.

[tuckerhun1028]

so beautiful!

[KentuckyGiant]

ty it was a fun show

[thedrafthorse]

Nice! Those Petsmart guys were there "with bells on."

[KentuckyGiant]

I guess they need exposure too. Bleh

[KentuckyGiant]

lol oh yeah. I just got it. Quite literally with bells on! Only took me 10 months.

haha silly me
