Show Grey Percheron II by

Taken Canada Day July 1/09 at the Bar U Ranch near Longview, Alberta. The young lady was demonstrating the decorating of the mane while in motion!
The Bar U 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.

SC work applied.

    Just gorgeous! Excellent capture.

  • These percherons have such a quiet beauty in their obvious strength tempered with their gentleness.

    oh, what a beauty – I’m going to have to search my film photos & scan our QH/Percheron cross, as these photos have bought back fond memories

  • I am so happy. That is what photography is all about, preserving memories!
