They're my neighbors J. I get all the babies (colts/filly's) for a couple summer seasons to get them socialized, & used to harness. Works real well for me. No more trudging 100 yds. down to the barn through 3-4 ft. of snow.

Awesome Fred, my grandfather used horses in logging.....but before my day. Still a few teams working around Maine. Mostly pretty horses down here in Tenn.

They go around 1700 each CS. Indeed they are. I love workin with them once they get 3-4 yrs old. When I initially get them they're around 2-3 hundred.

Real good stuff, Fred. Some serious horsepower there. Each one weighs almost as much as a original VW Beetle!
