Love big horses? Then Heavy Horses is the site for you!
Heavy Horses claims to be “Your Heavy Horse Resource & Guide.” It certainly merits that title, as it is probably one of the most comprehensive yet beginner-friendly draft horse resources on the web. It covers all key aspects of life with a heavy horse, ranging from breeds to care and feeding to the many work and recreational activities available to draft horse owners.
Just to give you a (very) small sample of the topics covered:
- Pastures.
- Feeding.
- Grooming.
- Farriery.
- Harnessing.
- Training.
- Plowing.
- Forestry.
- Showing.
- Obstacle driving.
The breed guide covers many different types of working horse, but focuses primarily on:
- Shire.
- Clydesdale.
- Suffolk.
- Percheron.
- Ardennes.
- British natives.
- Working crosses.
Heavy Horses is geared toward the British horse owner, which may make some of the terminology confusing at first. However, its thoroughness and novice-friendly tone make it an indispensable resource.
Highly recommended for anyone considering purchasing a heavy horse for either work or pleasure.
