Horses Pulling Truck Out of Snow Bank

Some Floridians came by the Ski Farm for some cross country skiing but wound up in the ditch. Fortunately Max and his team of Percherons was there to save the day, and unblock the driveway. Western Maryland Backbone Ski Farm. I didn't shoot the video but downloaded it that day on the farm computer from his flash card. It was a timy camera not even a video camera. Music "On The Road" by Canned heat. Now that's two horse power you can count on that even fertilizes as it goes.

Would one of those horses been enough to get it out?

[ccalhoun1]

Probably one could have done it especially if it was Molly, However they pull better in a team, drawing on each others power and motivation, and under slippery conditions no sense in pushing it.

The husband and I were watching TV and saw the (I think Chevy?) commercial of the horses hauling the truck out of the mud. He asked me if that was possible, and I thought of this video. Yes dear, very possible.
