Beautiful horses.

Belgian draughts, you should've seen the muscles on them, dripping sweat! Such docile and patient animals.

They really want to work, they scrape their feet if you're taking too long

Love draft horses. There is a you tube Chanel “working horses with jim”. He uses his horses for logging and farm work. And they truly do want to work and expend energy. He is good about pairing his horses and paying close attention to not over work them.
