The blond mane Percheron and Belgian Draft horses are the most common working horses in Wisconsin. Below is a 2 minute clip showings a pair of “Gentle Gaints” prancing, side stepping and pulling 18,000 lbs (9 tons).


The following video is of the “National Championship Draft Horse Pull” competition held in Florida and shows the pride and love these horse owner have for them. It is common for these horse owners to take better care of their horses than themselves.
