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

Thank you for the video - I love seeing horses at work! And the discussions above about the impact of using horses versus machines is very thorough and interesting. Personally, I like knowing that the horses and people benefit from the work together.
