    These critters are something else. They don't even need cued up. They are listening and as soon as they hear that click of that latch on the tree they know it's time to boogie, and they do.

    Ah Pam, it has been wonderful to discover you at this site. I lost you when I couldn’t find you on the televised rodeos. My two sisters and i have fond memories of you and your sister, and her children, when we were both losing our Dads at the hospital. I hope your life has gone well for all of you in your lives.. when I was a teen I taught several horses to drive. My buggy still hangs in my sister’s barn. Tell your sister we remember you both, helping each other through a terrible time.

    My dad pulled horses for my years. He never laid a hand on them. Some pullers are abusive to their horses. Others are not. The abusive ones have a reservation in hell.

    Draft horses are awesome creatures. I have been to a few pulls and their sheer size and strength amazes me. No offense to the good folks in Florida who organize the nation pull, but I would much rather see a sled with stones added. I think its a accurate barometer of and for testing strength

    Modern drafts have been bred mainly for the show ring, and are not necessarily gentle. I had a Clydesdale that was like a doubleweight Arabian.
    Pulls are great to watch. Here in Ontario,we're supposed to stay quiet, no applause, but it takes restraint.

      These horses are cared for better than some human beings. Massage, chiropractor, vets, medicines....these are top athletes, and they are bred for work. I have thoroughbreds, and they are extremely unhappy when they don’t have a job. They love to preform, and love to compete. Abuse us a strong word, and completely wrong here. Is it abuse to compete dogs in the Iditarod? Is it abuse when farmers opt to log and farm with horses rather than tractors? They are made for this, bred for this, trained for this and conditioned for this. Maybe go throw some shade at the racing industry, where abuse actually is happening.

      Really? You want to compare the kidnapping, entrapment and enslavement of an entire race of human beings so horses and dogs? They are animals!!! Have a little perspective and thought behind this absolute lunacy! Animals have been domesticated and used for work for thousands of Years. Do you have pets? Do you want them on leashes? train them? have them obey you? Keep them fenced or in containment? Horses are work animals, they are meant to preform and to function as a working animal. A lot of dogs are worn animals, and both are completely unhappy when they are sedentary and bored.
