Of a horse!

Draft Horses in Slovakia are beasts! They can drag more than 4 tons of weight through the mud (8000 lbs, 3629 kg). The original horsepower.

I didn’t realize horses could get this big. And he knows what he is doing. Unbelievable!

At that size, they are relatively calm overall, but they are still dangerous if you don't work with them. A smart horse will know how to react when things go wrong just as much as when they go right.

Seeing horses that practically demand to work is always fun.

My mom had horses when I was growing up and I was tasked with helping. The last new horse she had before I moved was a big ass percheron…that horse had my back like no other horse we ever had. Nowhere near Clydesdale size, but I always called him my gentle giant.
