Belgian Draft Horses, Oh My!


DSC_0084

I’ve been kicked and bucked, and told to bugger off by many ‘o’ horse, but I can’t say I’ve ever been afraid of a horse. That was until I met an entire barn of Belgian Draft horses last month. I wasn’t even aware horses came in this size. While they are just a tidge smaller than Clydesdales, they are no less impressive. Or as Greg would say, “This horse may be 20 hands high, but our cats are FOUR hands high. If you stretch them out longways.” WELL THEN, there you have it. Belgians are the FAT, LAZY, HOUSE CAT of the horse world. Except one kick would probably kill me…and my cat.
