Ours here is pathetic. I guess I'm just used to the really big, active fairs of the Midwest and Texas. :)<br /><br />And it was great to talk to you. Thanks for calling Friday morning. :) I felt the hug.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-55919020733836254752009-09-04T08:06:46.766-07:002009-09-04T08:06:46.766-07:00Belgians are nice even tempered horses usually.

I can back up what your friend says about Percherons, all that I have known have been quite difficult to work with, but my experience is not with a vast number only with 5 or 6 here and there. Like any breed there is a whole range of personalities. In any event, watching a draft team of any breed in harness and strutting their stuff is a sight to behold. :-)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-78450385959736177332009-09-04T07:12:19.203-07:002009-09-04T07:12:19.203-07:00Thanks, Christine; I really like that shot, too.

In fact, the family with Clydesdales USED to have Belgians, too (and used one in their youth pairs team, which you can see in the darker photo). A friend of mine that used to show Clydes all over the country said Percherons are pig-headed and the worst to train; I've wondered if that explains their scarcity but maybe it's just a regional thing. And no, the minis and drafts aren't stabled near each other....Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-44401459737236405762009-09-04T05:54:58.318-07:002009-09-04T05:54:58.318-07:00Almost as good as being there!

So nice to see the heavy teams and such a handsome head shot you got.<br />I'm surprised there were no Percherons as it seems they are popular in this area. When I need my draft horse fix, I go visit with Toby, a Suffolk Punch and marvel at his expansive width. His owners use him for logging. <br />Did they put the drafts and mini's near each other?<br />They did that one year at Albany and it was quite entertaining to go down that row in the barn.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-21641121056842729672009-09-04T03:59:08.948-07:002009-09-04T03:59:08.948-07:00I LOVE the shot of Brian leading Keegan.

BUT we have new management! Hoping he has the moxie to make it work for him. That little stallion is so pretty, but why in the world would they have a hunting class for something that small LOL<br />ps. I like the blue quilt :)~~Sittin.n.Spinninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488509291525218944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-42147324743936976762009-09-03T13:32:29.594-07:002009-09-03T13:32:29.594-07:00Great pictures like the miniature horses
