Yep, horses got delivered this AM, 2 six month old Belgiums. Both Stud horses----my buddy will use them for breedin. NOW, alls me & the old lady gotta do is gentle them by the time snow flies. If gettin them to load on the trailer was any sign-----we got our work, cut out for us. :lol: They been runnin free since they got weaned off Momma. They don't have a clue what a stall is nor an in & out barn. These big horses are gentle through & through----BUT------first we got to get them to understand exactly what gentle IS. double :lol: I had their brothers a few yrs back--same stud horse, different mare. I'll get some pix tomorrow. I had 3 but it seems my commuter has eaten them!!! :what: :roll: :lol:
