Very nice video, I am always amazed by how beautiful these horses are

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

The video clearly demonstrates the absolutely good character of these heavy horses: Calm disposition and patience while waiting even in an unfamiliar environment, but then active without being excited as the other video shows when the procession is under way. That's exactly how draft horses should behave.

Preparation is definitely key before this kind of processions. Like the saying goes: Behind every strong man, stands an even stronger draft horse! 😉

If they foam on the mouth without even being worked, they need a different mouth piece!!! And if they foam while being worked you have a heard hand.
