Friesian pair go to town - Samson and Hercules

Horse Drawn Promotions - Breaking horses to harness. http://www.horsedrawnpromotions.com/
We broke this pair of young Friesians - their owner now does weddings with them. This clip shows them being driven through town past roadworks, large lorries and even a helicopter in the High street. We also take them to Tescos!

Many of your horses are extremely calm! are they gelded? if so, can un-gelded stallions be as calm, yet active, in traffic?

@OneMinTuts We break stallions too - if you go to our Youtube channel there are several videos of stallions doing exactly the same thing as this pair. Also the video titled "Hammerhead on a roof-seated break" shows 5 4-year-old Friesian stallions; they were trained to do commercial work so yes they can be calm in traffic and work together happily.

@AndreyaPolo Thank you for your comment - we do provide a funeral service; if you watch our other video "Four-in-hand funeral" you can see a turnout we provided for Chris White funeral directors in Salisbury. We have other videos on here of Friesians that have gone on to do commercial work - all our horses are trained to the same standard whether they work commercially or just for pleasure driving. If you want further information please feel free to call us.

Greetings from a friesian island. We have no cars here and all transportation etc. is done by horsepower. I have seen a lot of trustfull teamwork between horses and drivers but your work is amazing. Especially the part from 4:41 and on. I love how they listen to you. Great.

Now, this is how I want to get to the shops. Would make picking up the groceries much more enjoyable.

[Fireheart528]

@antoine620 Very true. Look like they are enjoying themselves too. A day out on the town is a good thing even if it's the trip to the grocery store. Although drivers in the USA don't watch where they are going sometimes, it still makes me happy that people like him preserve old traditions. I think I could get away with a horse and buggy in Brunswick, GA.

What beauties! And I can tell you treat them with love and affection!
