[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 7806026, member: 5589"] Now then, draught horses, I know a bit about this too. As a kid I bought a horse, a full stallion because that is what everyone said not to do of course. Now as a 2 year old I broke him to harness and we dragged a bowtop to Appleby Fair. Me and that pony did thousands of miles from The Cotwolds to The Lakes and North Wales. One hell of a time! and went to places that people used to tell me their parents used to go. Well I did it, not my parents or people of the olden days, me! Tell me now, how many folk can you tell me you know that have been to Appleby in a horse drawn wagon and to Stow the same way. And tell me how many folk you know that have been up the Fish on the old road up out of Broadway with a horse and wagon. I've had people proud to tell me they come down The Fish with their wagon, yeah well, I went up it with mine. For those that don't know the place it is 1 in 5 for about 6 miles, Transits don't always make it never mind draught horses. I don't believe there is anything better in this world than working as one with a well trained horse or dog. No words spoken, you and the creature just know. [/QUOTE]
