Endangered Horse: Belgian Draft

I love this vid of two little boys riding this enormous Belgian mare "Rowan". It just makes me smile. As do draft horses in general. What gentle souls they are. I am sorry to say that these beautiful giants are on the endangered list too. I have vaulted on Belgians. Actually, it's because of my experience vaulting on draft horses that my love affair with draft horses began. Did you know that the Belgian horse has the most direct lineal descendants of the "great horse" of medieval times?
