For those of you who don't know, the horses LOVE pulling and working. Before you claim they do not, please go and work with them. They were bred for this purpose and love it, they love working so much, that many will die if completely retired. They have to be given work to do, and will do it with pride and love.
i doubt this is 100% accurate, i doubt any creature loves to be enslaved. i can understand in small amounts and well looked after the horse can feel apart of a family but i highly doubt the horses that get worked to death enjoy it.
@@tikoakinney6644 who are you to say they don't know any better, we are finding out more and more each day about animals we otherwise wouldn't of known before. every creature has the fear of death in them like us. would you enjoy being worked to death each day? i don't think so, so why would you assume this horse dose.
The very best horse I ever owned was a Shire & Quarter horse cross! He stood 16 & 1/2 HH, 2,000 pounds & was absolutely the best saddle horse in the world with the long distance endurance like I've never seen before! I can't think of a time when he even breathed hard when I was working him! He could drag literally anything I ever hooked him up to including an extremely reluctant 2,000 pound bull!! He just put his head down & dug in, that bull came along instantly!! One winter my tandem horse trailer got stuck in the snow being pulled behind my grandfather's pickup truck coming up the mountain dirt driveway to my house. We unhooked it from the truck & brought my horse out & hooked him up to the trailer, without so much as a strained look on his face he pulled that trailer right up the road into the yard! I won that bet with my grandfather that day too!!! Anytime after that all I had to say to my grandfather was 'I'll bet my horse can pull that out!', my grandfather just quietly agreed with me!!
🤣👊BEST comment here! I know the honor of enjoying a retired Belgian draft horse. he was tossed around for 2 years after being dumped from the farm he worked on for 25 years. ❤ 🙏 he was left to fall apart like an old junked tractor. He was given all the medical spiritual physical respite he could ever possibly have before his final passing. Love and respect of retired workhorses
I'm from Belgium and my uncle who was a farmer had 14 Belgian draft horses to work on the field and they were so powerfull .But working with these horses was no joke ,you realy had to learn the skills .
im curious, they must be really scary, just thinking all the power they can generate, i cant imagine getting kick from them, are they aggresive?, since when i was a kid im afraid of horses
@@kennethreyes7545 They are very friendly but with horses you always have to be carfull .A young boy in our village had a kick on his head from such a horse ,this young boy was a brilliant student but after this kick he couldn't read or wright anymore and he ended up working in a garden center and was only able to do very simple tasks .

My grandpa, who's a German in America, said that they always had Percherons when he was younger. The Amish use Belgians, which are bigger and stronger.

tractors, being powered by fossil fuels, are helping to make life far more difficult, and are partly to blame for the current major extinction event. there have only been 5 in all of earth’s history. so, horses win… no contest.
mmmm, they can lower the cost but it won't be cheaper either. Costs to go to the vet, ransom, and anything for their wellbeing should be taken to.the account
According to current thinking, dog is man's best friend. I have never believed that. Horse is mans best friend and has been for over a thousand years. Where would we be without the horse! These horses show why there is such a thing, even to this day, as HORSEPOWER!
A man does not want to work with their best friend or employ their best man these horses are bred for work to replace the machine there are nothing but that to some of the owners
@@Meowskiii while I agree that humans should not use animals like their things, these horses some really really love to work. They don't want to sit around and do nothing. As long as these horses are treated appropriately as the magnificent wonderful beasts that they are and treated with respect and love, then that's the important thing
0:30 those are terrifying brute strength. They towed the huge truck up an elevation. 6:41 is equally insane! Didn't know horses can be that strong. What a monster.
Go to Mackinac Island (in the northern part of Michigan) and get *REALLY* impressed by watching a pair of perchies or belgians pulling their dinner up Grand Hill to the big barns... Those loads of hay are running in the 3-5 ton range, sitting on top of another ton worth of wagon, and the slope on Grand Hill runs between 30 and 40% for the better part of half a mile. I've seen dump trucks struggle up that hill during construction season, but the horses will walk up it almost like they're on flat ground.
I do not believe in abusing any animal, but a horse is very intelligent and will try to get their bluff on you. That small hit to that giant powerful beast didn't hurt it, he was getting its attention, so as not to be harmed his self. I do hope though he is not abusive.
Went to Jamaica a long time ago, did the horse ride through the country side and ocean. I was within the weight limit to ride, but barely, ended up on a farm horse, they told me he wouldn't even know i was on his back and id have to be firm to ger him to turn and get him to go bc he was used to pulling well over 500lbs behind him. I was literally @6'4" 250 lbs and nothing to this creature and all the breeds on this list were as or well stronger, cannot imagine.
My choice of horse in Red Dead Redemption 2. They're not the fastest or fittest for endurance but they can wade through very deep water and foliage whilst providing a very clear view of surroundings.
Wonderful animals and priceless helpers; never understood how such a great amount of labour and loyalty may be so poorly rewarded with whipping their back. If that was a Man with man scenario would still be called slavery isn’t it? Fascinating
Absolutely majestic beautiful animals,there is just something to appreciate in their enormous power and how they have helped mankind for so many generations and still amazing to watch still to this very day absolutely brilliant animals

@Nathan Adrian Nah I can't say I've dealt with many stallions, but I'd bold enough I've definitely heard worse stories though. I've lived some of those stories. I've worked at an Applebee's dude 😬
A Percheron horse is by far the largest horse I've ever been in the same room with. Surprisingly patient horses for being so big. Lifting all that weight only makes the horse stronger. They are probably fed better than most humans. lol
Some people in the comment keep saying they're bred for work and they are happy doing that. Lies, they seem sad, they're struggling with those heavy stuff 😢 poor horses.
Tell the whole world you don't have enough knowledge and experience with horses to know even a little bit of what you're talking about. Oh, wait - you just just did - nevermind...
*IF* you're lucky, you'll wake up in the middle of next week. If you're not, you'll wake up to a fellow in a robe with a name tag that says "Hello, my name is Peter" :)
I’ve been near a few breeds of draft before, & the most insane one in size was definitely the Shire. The size of that horse is ridiculous. I love them.
I actually saw one of these monsters 😮 up close..a regular horse makes you 😊 smile..I must admit I was friggin intimidated..the muscles and veins on these animals is incredible 💪
In the 2nd weekend of every September the BarU ranch National Historic Site holds a chore horse competion which features a team of horses competing on a course which engages both the team and the teamster. It is very entertaining
Most PETA people have never hit the gym so they have no idea that satisfaction that comes with physical strength and accomplishment. They are too busy eating soy.
They are all truly beautiful horses my personal favorite is the clydsdale but only because i have ridden one. My father worked horses for ploughing back in the 1940s and the farmer that owned them wiuld remind my dad to rest them often because a sick horse cant work. We the eorld need to loose some tractors and use more horses the goods may be a bit more expensive but we may be able to reduce emissions and some people will benefit from better mental health
My neighbors have a couple draft horses. .and a bunch of others.. and they board for people, and they have some kind of shows/ events .. the draft horses are amazing.. it is not until you actually get up close and see with your own eyes that you can really grasp just how massive and powerful that they are.. I thought my neighbors were Clydesdales. Because of how big they are.. but they were a different type.. but their backs were about 6 ft and so wide. Huge muscles.. their legs are like tree trunks .. very intimidating just to be near them..beautiful animals
Per pound I think ponies are stronger. At pulling contests, they pull a larger percentage of their weight than the big horses. Of course, they'd have a disadvantage in mud and snow. In the full draft divisions, most of the contestants, and all the winners, are American/Canadian bred Belgians.
if the shire wasnt almost extinct they would climb up those ranks. The shire is comparatively rather expensive. If you look at belgian, they have a pronouced wither. More so than shires. Shires have flatter backs almost as high as the wither and it makes a bigger/heavier horse at the same height. What is bad for the shire is people breeding the mares at 3yo when they are not done growing. Currently have a massive 4yo still growing. Once grown and fully educated, breeding her with a almost 20hh stallion to see what happens.
@@SocialShires Shires look great, but they've got their issues. They tend (not an absolute, but a strong tendency) to have rather fragile feet, expecially if working on pavement and/or dry ground. They, and their close cousins, the Clydesdales, were developed for work in swampy areas that keep their feet somewhere between "moist" and "downright soggy". Put 'em to work on dry ground, and even worse on pavement, they tend to develop hoof issues when they dry out and get brittle - You spend almost as much time messing with keeping their feet from disintegrating as you do working them. (This is experience talking).
For those of you who don't know, the horses LOVE pulling and working. Before you claim they do not, please go and work with them. They were bred for this purpose and love it, they love working so much, that many will die if completely retired. They have to be given work to do, and will do it with pride and love.
That is so true .And if you don't work with them make sure you don't feed them to heavy .

At pulling contests, they pull a larger percentage of their weight than the big horses. Of course, they'd have a disadvantage in mud and snow.
In the full draft divisions, most of the contestants, and all the winners, are American/Canadian bred Belgians.
thats true, they can pull the most compared to body weight, but i think in the context of the video, they cant pull the most weight in general.
if the shire wasnt almost extinct they would climb up those ranks. The shire is comparatively rather expensive. If you look at belgian, they have a pronouced wither. More so than shires. Shires have flatter backs almost as high as the wither and it makes a bigger/heavier horse at the same height.
What is bad for the shire is people breeding the mares at 3yo when they are not done growing. Currently have a massive 4yo still growing. Once grown and fully educated, breeding her with a almost 20hh stallion to see what happens.
@@SocialShires Post a picture. I had a Shire in the past. The father was 19H. I hope to get a few in the future.
@@kevinthomes1046 I`ve got videos and will be posting more and more once as I get the video lenght limitation off
@@SocialShires Shires look great, but they've got their issues. They tend (not an absolute, but a strong tendency) to have rather fragile feet, expecially if working on pavement and/or dry ground. They, and their close cousins, the Clydesdales, were developed for work in swampy areas that keep their feet somewhere between "moist" and "downright soggy". Put 'em to work on dry ground, and even worse on pavement, they tend to develop hoof issues when they dry out and get brittle - You spend almost as much time messing with keeping their feet from disintegrating as you do working them. (This is experience talking).
Beautiful beasties
Wild enough as it sounds, for smaller operations, I bet those horses are cheaper than large farm equipment (for smaller fields)
How long of a time can they pull a heavy load ?
All you soft tender foots thinking this is abuse, you're wrong, these horses love this, its like a rush for them, NATURE BUILT THEM TO BE SO STRONG!!!
