Wonderful images, I have a friend near where I grew up that had draft horses. We used to ride them bareback but my crotch was killing me the end of the day. Also ducking under every branch on the trail was crazy.
I watched a You Tube video of a blacksmith shoeing a very large work horse (don’t remember the breed). That is some long, hard work. They do not have small, delicate little hooves like a typical riding horse.
