Sweet Home Chicago's a good song, but can't comment on the place as I've never been. Don't agree with Tav, Michigan and Pennsylvania are where the best music come from. Welcome to DS.

Cool, it is something I'm planning on learning to do.... Loving the pair too, Bess and Buck

beautiful ...we have a trait breton stallion, similar to the belgian, who we plan to work and drive but he's still only a young guy he was broken to riding last year and wearing harness

THAT is a gorgeous breed! I had never heard of it before, had to look up some pictures.

I hate how the Belgian has been bred to be so long legged for shows.

Fiddling about with a breed spec to suit certain personal tastes does tend to spoil a breed.

You might find that blog interesting as they drive trait bretons in speed competition.. it is in French though..but you can get the gist of the breed from the photos.
