To the people who think this is cruel, abusice, inhumane, etc , for working animals to work, These horses are bred for work. bred for thousands of years for work. This horses are probably more fit than the horses you seen in your stables or any stables you'll visit. Very well tempered and trained. They move with ease and don't appear to be in any pain. If these horses were in pain or any form of discomfort they'd most certainly show it. They're just doing a job they dont even know is work. Probably doing their jobs better than most people would! lol GOOD HORSES!!
Obviously an old tradition. This draft horse isn't feeling any pain. It woukd take mor than a basket or two and one human sitting in the saddle. Draft horses are built for this.
To the sympathetic: work is not torture. Fit, healthy adult animals, including humans, actually enjoy it. You would destroy their jobs and then put them in a depressing prison with nothing to do but eat. Wait, at least, until they're old and creaky.
they need a dog. a little, annoying terrier to keep those gulls at bay. otherwise, a great example of traditional and innovative fishing! thank you for filming!
the tails are cut because like that it's easier to guide them with the reins over their back when they are pulling a cart. It's a tradition to do it like that. But there has been discussion about it. Maybe they just could keep their tails? I don't have a defined opinion about it. I tend a bit more towards letting the horses keep their full tail, but the short tail is typical for working horses like this.
c est bien dans la vidéo que les tamis sont deverses dans le sable ce que je veux dire c est qu il faut trier dans l eau pour sauvegarder les petits poissons petits crabes et autres et j ai raison demander a tous les pecheurs de crevettes !!!!!
Amazing. I "like" Draught horses. They and thoroughbreds crossed for gen. produce the power jumpers in International show jumping. Watch my video uploads.
how are these beautiful horses repaid in Belgium ? man is judged by their treatment of animals...I am happy that this is done the way it is done and should be, however...saddened to know Belgium is one of the smallest yet biggest offenders of horse meat.
use a vehicle. its not very manly to hurt animals. take the time to research that curb bit and chain in your horse's mouth. and sitting on horses causes lasting pain and damage.
I have seen many horse lovers inflicting far more pain on their horse than what these guys were doing. They weren't hauling on their mouth, the reins were slack. I see exceptionally well trained horses working along with their owners. Any bit is only as severe as the hands on the reins.
Jenn Tuohy You don't know a lot about horses, don't you? These horses feel as much pain as you typing your text. Nothing. Besides those horses are monsters, they have a pain level far above humans. Actually these horses enjoy doing this work, rather than being locked op all day.
Yes, there is. There are several reasons. The first reason is because of the tail might get stuck into the harness so handling could be made impossible. The second is because of the tradition of "docking". The third is because some people think it's beautiful. The fourth reason is very questionnable: some think that the tail could harm the stallion while mating. The last is reason is that those horses look more impressive, stronger,... without a tail, so they can be sold more easily. But I also want to say that cutting the tail of a horse is indeed painfull. Using horses to ride or to work is not painfully, under normal conditons.
Actually that type of work is far easier on the horse than us going to the office to sit, type and have stress all day. The salt water does wonders for horses legs, they are not stressed out, heck they are not even breathing hard! These horses probably only go out once or twice a day and then go home get a bath, a rub down, fed some sweet grain and then left alone in a nice pasture. I would much rather have that life than have to work in a box under the conditions we humans often work under.

The trust between the horse and rider I'd so heartwarming to watch.

well. You learn something new everyday. What great thinking! Also keeps their horses in great shape too I bet
What amazing horses.
This is fascinating! Thank you!
Love this......I have a Brabant Belgian ....two actually....I should try this!
I like your style, but how can you not be sure if you have one or two of these giants??? hahaha
Very Cool; I have never seen this done before with horses.
It somehow reminds me the old way of gathering seaweeds with draft horses in my old Brittany. :')

This is so cool! Only thing I would be worried about is the horse getting caught in the net, but these guys definitely have it down pat.
This is all new to me. Never would have believed it. Thanks.

Not going to lie: the seagulls were kinda funny
Bloody hell those horses are massive
What kind of fish are you looking for? Awesome video!
Used to live there Fabiolaplein , but now 41 y in UK , its UNESCO heritage AS WELL
beautiful.
Are their tails docked by being cut off at birth or using a rubber band .. Like I don't really understand how and or why?
I think it's related to the horse breed.. I am not sure either. :)

Tails are also docked so they don't get stuck in machinery or carts.
Not any more the don't
Interesting !!!!
