Just curious?
Is it Shire, Belgium, Percheron, Clydesdale, Suffolk?
I have a purebred shire, and his price was pretty high…

I don’t know what it is about Belgian Draft Horses, but I absolutely love draft horses. I am 5″4″,, 103 pounds, and one day I hope to get a Belgian Draft Horse. The only thing is, would it really suit me? What is your experiences riding a Belgian Draft Horse? What are your opinions about a small person riding a big horse? I mean, draft horses aren’t only tall, they are also solid horses.

sarat0 asked:


My draft cross mare has started to drop a lot of weight. We upped her feed quite a bit over the last 3 weeks and her hay too and did an extra wormer too but still shes dropping weight. I put her in a nice blanket in case she was shivering the weight off but thats not working either. She gets rode about an hour 2x a week like ususal but of course she doesnt have the energy like she used too.
So any ideas why and how to get her to recover those pounds? Every week I can see more loss instead of gain. I’m worried.

Hey there, so I am currently leasing a 16.2hh Paint horse/ belgian cross. She is 8 years old, and so she is trained in dressage, I’m trained in H/J, I test rode her yesterday,a nd she was great. So me and the owner were talking, and she would like to see Cabaret jump. We need to have the vet check her over because she had a leg surgery as a yearling, and we wouldn’t jump her all that high, so how high do you think she could go?
No, I don’t want to compete her in hunters, we just want ot teach her to jump.

H asked:


I`m a decent rider, self taught since I was a kid. I lead trail rides on a friend`s farm in the summer. I`m not very tall, so ponies are ok, but I`m comfortable on a draft horse as well. I live in the west end, and don`t want to pay more than $150 a month since I would only be riding twice a week or so. Thanks!

CrazyCowgirl asked:


I have a quarter horse or so the seller told me, and have been around many before but i have never seen any as muscular as mine and he’s really buff, and he’s got long hair coming off and down the backs of his legs and he’s about 15 HH. …SO yea im not sure, here’s a pic but i don’t think it’ll help much, keep in mind tho this was taken in november and now its february so his coats alot shaggier and his leg hair is longer

draft horse harness

teenytiny asked:


on cement or pavement is bad for them? It seems it should not be bad if it’s not all the time, but I see people warming others against it in general, but haven’t horses always been breed to have good legs and sound feet for road work before cars were even invented? I’ve seen old draft horses still worked in cities well into old age. Of course galloping a horse for miles on pavement might be bad, but what about trotting or other slower gates?

draft horse jumping

BOB asked:


I have a percheron x shire cross and I want to ride her english and maybe jump her. I am looking for english saddles and I dont know what size saddle to get. Do you think that drafts fit into FQHB I plan on measuring her but i havnt got to it so i figured i would just ask. Also if you know where i could get a cheap new or used saddle that would be great.
She doesnt have as wide withers as most drafts I dont think….
