  3. Wow, that is one big, strong looking horse. He is massive body wise. I've seen taller but not many with that much substance.

  4. Quite grand and I love his coloring - but his neck looks too short. (but I know nothing of drafts)

  8. He might be a Brambant which is a breed used to form the Amergican Belgian (the sorrel ones we are used to seeing). He's gorgeous!

  9. Eeeek. Look at the power! I don't fancy trying to put the brakes on him if he decided to set off for home..

  10. Gaaah! I just want to hug him. My horse is half draft ... but nothing remotely "tanky" like that! Wowza!

  11. We have several draft farms in my area and thankfully none of the horses look like that! He just doesn't look healthy:(

  12. @English Rider - that's pretty much the first thing I noticed, too. Poor fella, I hope the flies aren't bad where he lives.

    Other than that, what an interesting-looking equine! Beautiful coloring.

  13. Aww where is he located? I don't recognize that language (not good with foreign languages lol). That's so sad about his tail and he's soooo obese! Or he looks obese to me. He was so out of breath just trotting around. :( I'll take him! I'll put him on a diet and give him hugs everyday! :D
