Gosh, these are amazing animals. Just an FYI, animals like this that pull things (aka draft horses, sled dogs, etc.) WANT to pull. I only saw the one comment regarding this at the top, but I just wish people would do their research before they judge a sport like this. I've been to sled dog races, kennels, etc. and those dogs are raring to go from the start and will pull the brake right out of the ground. I wish I found something I had a drive to do like these amazing animals! That's for sure.
All this commotion over whether the poked him with a stick (which he didn't you blind idiots) and no one else noticed the UFO landing in the background?!
I really like this movie. It is very sentimental. I come from Polish. I am a breeder of draft horses (Polish cold-blooded horse). Feel free to watch my films.
OK my husband uses these horses for what they are made for. He has 3 teams with another to join soon. These horses are bread to pull and are not living up to their full potential unless they are pulling something.
How many of you people really do understand horses? I have little experience around horses, so I'm not gonna be a dumbass and say something about this when I don't know anything. You try pulling one of those sleds yourself, then you'll appreciate the power that draft horses have. Amish people use them on their farms for plowing.
*note* after watching the video again, if you follow the line of the "stick" you say was used to "stab the horse", you will notice it is not a solid pole. it is infact a line going into the pull harness, I can't tell exactly where it ties off, but the man is causing a vibration to start the pull. NOT stabbing. you people are so judgemental. Seriously.
This is a beautiful animal doing what it loves to do. Look at him prancing and shaking his withers. He is excited. And as for the tap with the pole, it is one way to tell the horse "pull" without being in the path of the sled. He had no problem getting that thing moving and would have ran over the handler if he had been at the withers. Research Draft horses and pull techniques before making hastey judgements. This is a beautiful example of raw power and love of the job.
i love how people who grow up in the city can make comments about the way animals are treated...if you were raised on a ranch and knew how much these animals were loved you wouldnt even think that this is animal cruelty!! my horse has two acres to roam...but he is a working horse...that is his job...horses love to work
What call wanting to go, see he love what he doing just want show his power. see him pushing from behind were all power is in a horse.
people whing that oo tail dock fact on horse pull plaws etc working horse. if they had tail it there tails get trap in plaw, why there dock for there own safty. fact two, man gave horse sign to go it dosnt hurt them. fact thre the pacing, show horse enjoy what he doing say "come on come on let go," show how much these "know it all" know about.
he poked the horse with a stick.. he did not stab him lol. you could jab em pretty hard too really hurtem. imagine how much power that horse has, and imagine him kicking another horse... and know what? That other horse would prob snort and graze off a couple feet away just fine lol it takes alot too really hurtem
@cowgirl4christ90, that 'stick' is a rope, tether, rein, whatever you want to call it, yet It Is Not a stick. It is part of the Harness - look at the video closely. Had the owner being on the sled, he would have had the rein at the bridle. Horses don't need a whip to move, they know their thing - this is a work horse and before that he was a war horse as only this breed and a few others could carry a loaded knight. I suggest you Read a little histroy first.
look at the poor thing's tale. is digstuing that someong would do that to a horse. There are so many other things you could do then dock a horse's tale. you could wrap it or barade it. docking a horses's tale is just a stupid idea
@Sydtabulos6 I agree. But you can't necessarily blame the people in the video...the might've bought him that way, who knows. Yes, its mean, and also unattractive lol. We just got 2 belgians and their tails are docked as well...it sucks.
@Sydtabulos6 They dock the tail so that it doesn't get caught in farm equipment. Because it really sucks to have your horse freak out cause its tail is stuck and drag you down the road. And when you live on a farm you don't have the time to maintain a braided or wrapped tail. Docking a tail is a safety procedure.
most breeders clip the horses tail at birth with draft breeds. farmers used to do that with their draft horses so the tail wouldn't get caught in the plow. so now most people do that because it's just a characteristic of draft breeds.
my grandpa had that kind of horse years ago,back in the 30s, they pulled cotton wagons. and they are related to the clydesdales... its a branch off. He had 2.
oh stop crying, the horse is dying to want to pull, cant you see him pacing forward and back? they are bred to pull, do some research before you make yourself look like a retard again.

yea we got a draft horse at our stable that was resued,cause the formal ower abused him, but he is the sweetest horse and hes a big boy!! but just looking into his eyes you can tell hes just wanting to be loved and not hit with the whip likke his formal ower had. it just breaks my heart to know hat there are people out there that can do that to a beautiful horse. now hes scared of whips, and runs when someone gets close to em when they have one in there hand :(
this is different then how we do it. In Vermont we usually have a driver and then two hitchers and of course two horses not one. but i guess there are different ways
All of you who are saying that they are scared into doing this and don't want to are full of shit.
These horsers LOVE this. They're big enough that if they didn't want to listen to their trainers, they wouldn't. It's a mutual respect and partnership - it's no more cruel than TB racing.

A horse is a flight animal, they dont stand their ground like predators do. Its instinct is to move away away from what is scaring/causing it pain, in this case a human.
If given a choice, this animal would most likely not wish to partake in this activity. Would you like to be forced into doing something against your will? Beaten and whipped to make you go faster and further?
This animal is being abused for human entertainment. It doesnt understand the concept of "loving" something.
have u ever been on a horse when it didnt wana do sumthing?? it wont move, or it will buck and carry on. my horse gets so xcited when we go riding. he loves working hard.
its like saying sled dogs dont like what they do. if they didnt want to they wouldnt
Yes i have. My last horse was an ex national hunt race horse, so supposedly very highly strung.
If he would refused something, rather than whip him or jab him in the ribs with metal spurs, i would always try and work out the reason WHY he didnt want to do something, rather than using pain and force to make him do something. The result was after 18 months i had a very calm, trusting animal, who went from dancing on his tip toes, to being a gentle giant. I see no need to abuse an animal.
Actually, what you did in 18 months was take a horse that was race fit and wanting to run, and let him down to where he was out of shape and didn't care about running anymore. You get that horse race fit again, and he'll be just as difficult as he was when you first got him.
Oh for pities sake, did you notice that the driver doesn't even have a whip? Have you ever even been within ten feet of a horse? It is pretty hard to make an animal who weighs 10 times what you do, and comes equipped with teeth and hooves, do anything it doesn't want to. I do know. I trained horses and worked with horses for 25 years or more. There are some horses who are wild all their lives because you can't force them to submit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know the horse isn't being physically whipped. But they are probably trained brutally and made to follow voice commands and shouting. And they may be bred for this, but they shouldn't be put on display like that. Really, it's disrespectful.
um, hello even if he has bliders he can still feel the guy crack THE WHIP ON HIS BACK!!! so you BACK OFF!!! i care about horses, apperently you dont the way you talk!!! i can not stand when people take advantage of horses!!!
omg what an awful sport! this stresses the muscles and tendons in a horse's back and legs!! its not good! we have a horse who used to be a pull pony and now any time she heres a snap or buckle being done up she spazzs out and she bolts! shes so afraid of having to pull that she trys to run away from it. even if its something as simple as the crossties!!! =[
I know what you mean, i have a pony palomino, cutest nicest thing ever.i got him from an animal rescue farm and the reason he was taken away because someone walked in while owner was hitting the poor boy in the head with a hammer,wtf i know. a branch would snap and this poor boy would freak, and anything that sounded like a chain would nearly give him a heart attack.good news i own him now and as of 2 months ago he will come and great me :D and i can now touch his face without him trying to run.
@XxJakexAlyssaxX Can't you read body language at all? The horse is excited to pull! Look at him as he lurches forward twice before actually pulling. Not to mention these horses are BRED to pull just like any species of animal that are bred for this sort of thing (Horses,and sled dogs) You obviously have no experience with horses at, and as for your horse you probably didn't go about it the right way. Not to mention Belgium draft horses are meant for this.
It's belgian (i have 5 belgian,1 beligan/claysadle,1 clysadale)~~~(my other belgian is pergant so i'm gonna have 8 horses in may i'm so proud of my show team the 2 main belgiabs but i want to get 2 perchrons
Horses who die or are injured from this kind of work usually aren't in good shape. It's not the work, it's doing the work when they aren't fit for it. THAT will kill them.
I've been a teamster for 20 years. In that time I have never owned or heard of any horse that died during or after a match. The worst injuries I've seen are incurred by teams that have broke harness or lines and run loose over fences or spectator stands. Nobody drives a horse more than a few seconds if it can't move the boat.
These are working horses people,don't talk trash on something you know NOTHING about. Draft horses enjoy what they do immensely,read up on the subject.
lmao wow, it's not hard on the horse!! they're built to do that! Did you actually look at the size of that Belgian?! They're the size of a damn truck, I own a half belgian mare and she's pretty damn strong but I dont think she could haul that, ily belgians =]]]]]]]]
yeah like a horse that probably weighs around 2,000 pounds is going to have trouble harnessing up to a sled full of sand bags. OMG THE HORROR! Since you like to humanize, lets see you pull it lol, it would be funny seeing you snort and tug at that. These heavy horses have been bred for centuries to PULL, even used as war horses to pull heavy artillery. Read up before making such snide and silly comments.
That much is true. But on the other hand more horses die of heart attacks at races and such but in draft horses it isn't too common. In that case it wouldn't be abuse, reason being is that the horse is doing it willingly, horses are always willing to please and will sometimes go overboard (I know some that would jump off a cliff if the rider only asked that of them). If you run a marathon at your best and have a heart attack it isn't the trainers fault, see where I am coming from?
I think you need to do some research then because there is no way draft horses would have more heart attacks than race horses (even if there were the same number), and remember that statics can be made out to appear as the maker whats it to be. I have been to many horse pulls and have never saw one kill over from heart failure, I have seen some strain and tear muscles but no heart failures? Even the vet says its uncommon because the horse pulls for maybe a minute at a time
We had a team of mules that loved to go to the fairs and pull they get all excited and jumpy, and once they hear the ring hit the pin they go! But in 07 one of them started to get tumors and we had to put her down, very sad.
I like the beginning of the video, he just wants to start pulling. :) I wonder if you have to train that into them, or if they have it genetically, that they want to pull.

omg what an awful sport! this stresses the muscles and tendons in a horse's back and legs!! its not good! we have a horse who used to be a pull pony and now any time she heres a snap or buckle being done up she spazzs out and she bolts! shes so afraid of having to pull that she trys to run away from it. even if its something as simple as the crossties!!! =[

I know what you mean, i have a pony palomino, cutest nicest thing ever.i got him from an animal rescue farm and the reason he was taken away because someone walked in while owner was hitting the poor boy in the head with a hammer,wtf i know. a branch would snap and this poor boy would freak, and anything that sounded like a chain would nearly give him a heart attack.good news i own him now and as of 2 months ago he will come and great me :D and i can now touch his face without him trying to run.

im soo glad that u get to own that horse now. it sounds like he'll be going to a much better deserved and loving home
XxJakexAlyssaxX 3 years ago
@XxJakexAlyssaxX Can't you read body language at all? The horse is excited to pull! Look at him as he lurches forward twice before actually pulling. Not to mention these horses are BRED to pull just like any species of animal that are bred for this sort of thing (Horses,and sled dogs) You obviously have no experience with horses at, and as for your horse you probably didn't go about it the right way. Not to mention Belgium draft horses are meant for this.

Horses who die or are injured from this kind of work usually aren't in good shape. It's not the work, it's doing the work when they aren't fit for it. THAT will kill them.
Bjorked 3 years ago
I've been a teamster for 20 years. In that time I have never owned or heard of any horse that died during or after a match. The worst injuries I've seen are incurred by teams that have broke harness or lines and run loose over fences or spectator stands. Nobody drives a horse more than a few seconds if it can't move the boat.

These are working horses people,don't talk trash on something you know NOTHING about. Draft horses enjoy what they do immensely,read up on the subject.

you bastard why dont put that harness on and try pulling it!!!
erinherbie 3 years ago
yeah like a horse that probably weighs around 2,000 pounds is going to have trouble harnessing up to a sled full of sand bags. OMG THE HORROR! Since you like to humanize, lets see you pull it lol, it would be funny seeing you snort and tug at that. These heavy horses have been bred for centuries to PULL, even used as war horses to pull heavy artillery. Read up before making such snide and silly comments.

I have heard of many draft horses die of heart failure due to weight pulling.
No one knows how much weight they can pull comfortably, or how much weight they can bere on their backs.
Like some of these sick bastards who ride mini ponies.
This horse is really straining it cruel!
no1horselover 3 years ago
That much is true. But on the other hand more horses die of heart attacks at races and such but in draft horses it isn't too common. In that case it wouldn't be abuse, reason being is that the horse is doing it willingly, horses are always willing to please and will sometimes go overboard (I know some that would jump off a cliff if the rider only asked that of them). If you run a marathon at your best and have a heart attack it isn't the trainers fault, see where I am coming from?
lilbluependragon 3 years ago
yeah I know what youre trying to get at but race horses far out number draft horses that pull heavy weights.
If there were the same amount of both the heart failures in draft horses would be triple that of the racers.
Im not just againt this, there are lots of horse sports I dont like.
Racing is one of them.
no1horselover 3 years ago
I think you need to do some research then because there is no way draft horses would have more heart attacks than race horses (even if there were the same number), and remember that statics can be made out to appear as the maker whats it to be. I have been to many horse pulls and have never saw one kill over from heart failure, I have seen some strain and tear muscles but no heart failures? Even the vet says its uncommon because the horse pulls for maybe a minute at a time

think what you like pal,
Ive heard of 62 draft horses die from heart failure.
Mabey your vet needs to do some research.
no1horselover 3 years ago
this sounds bad, but ONLY 62? And as far as research you can't get much better than a large animal vet that attends horse pulls...
lilbluependragon 3 years ago
the 62 horses that have died I only heard from one of my friend's.
Her great grand dad used to work with draft horses years ago and over 4 years 62 horses died.
Thats just one company.
think how many thousands die in the world every year.
no1horselover 3 years ago
idk you have your opinion and I have mine, our stories clash pretty badly
lilbluependragon 3 years ago
Ya I have seen some fatties riding mini ponies and I feel sorry for them. I also saw one buck a guys lard ass off of him :D twas great!
lilbluependragon 3 years ago
And I have known pulling teams to pull a well over 11,000 pound sled, this is nothing.

We had a team of mules that loved to go to the fairs and pull they get all excited and jumpy, and once they hear the ring hit the pin they go! But in 07 one of them started to get tumors and we had to put her down, very sad.

I like the beginning of the video, he just wants to start pulling. :) I wonder if you have to train that into them, or if they have it genetically, that they want to pull.
