Black Percheron by

Taken Canada Day July 1/09 at the Bar U Ranch near Longview, Alberta.
They have a long history of raising purebred Percherons.
These amazing horses are bred for pulling heavy loads and have huge feet with hairy fetlocks, strong necks and shoulders and incredibly strong haunches.

    Gawd, I love draft horses. They are such magnificent beasts!

    When I was in AZ this winter the Budweiser Clydesdales were in town. They bring tears to my eyes every time I see them.

  • Many thanks Kinsey. I actually have a shot of 6 Bud Clydes and wagon at the Calgary Stampede this year but it is not slated for upload to here for some time yet. I have a method to my madness.
