You could say Draft Horses made the world go 'round in the Old West. They were the work horses, pulling plows, carriages, wagons, freight, etc. A safe comparison to modern days would be deisel rigs and big tractors.
You can still see Draft Horses at work now, but you usually have to go to attend a draft horse show or some type of competition. I'm here to tell you it is well worth the time. These horses are called "gentle giants" by quite a few people, and there is good reason why. Their sheer size and bulk are impressive, but their dispositions are so nice.
Look up a draft horse event in your area, and take time to see the power and strength of a horse that helped settle the Old West. Heck, they helped settle the entire land.
Have a good one.
Lincoln
