My response when she was petting the Belgian draft horse and wanted me
to come over was "sorry, the little monkey in the back is gibbering 'big
critter, big teeth, not going to get near those teeth.'"

Draft horses are usually much more mellow than saddle horses.
I go to the old threshers and I love to watch the draft horse teams.
I talked to one of the owners last time and he says he even rides
his belgians and they love it!
