Brabants?
Check out this page--
http://www.theamericanbrabantassocia...m/pictures.htm search for Laico and Scout Laico says he's 100% imported-- that's what the european ones look like-- We've bred them over here to be trimmer. None as cool as the one you saw-- but I think brabant might be the breed. |

None as cool as the one you saw-- but I think brabant might be the breed. Laico looks an awful lot like the Clydesdales that I use to drive through the streets of Staten Island hitched to a haywagon. Brings back memories of whipple-trees, belly bands, traces, collars and over 100 lbs of various leather. It took a while to learn how to "harness up" the horses and to stow the gear properly but it was a great experience for a city kid like me. Those are some beautiful horses - you can see in some of the photos how incredibly powerful they are compared to a racing thoroughbred. The Clydesdales took a lot of abuse from the idiots that roamed the streets of NYC - honking horns, flashing lights and even throwing beer cans at hem. )-: We used to ride them bareback to the main stable after we unharnessed them - talk about getting bowlegged - those big Clydesdales made you feel you were astride giant oil drum. -- Bobby G. |
