Chris: You don't see those Belgains many places today other than at shows. You get an 8 horse hitch of those in full dress harness, they're a pretty sight to see. My dad was the one that surprised me with horses. My grandfather had imported Western Canadian horses into Nova scotia for use in the forest industry. For the most part these were wild horses. Dad saw that was coming to an end and went into the dairy business. He farmed first with 5 horses and a Fordson. I asked him once about the Fordson. He said it just created work for the horses tow starting. In 42 the year I was born he trade the Fordson off for a new W4. Got rid of 3 horses at the same time. He went to an H with a loader in 51 then a wee Cub with a C-22 mower. They sold that last team of horses. There were a couple of teary eyed men around that day. A farm that once had 30 odd horse stalls and not a horse left. Now another humorous one about Mort. Mort was a one horse farmer and had one good horse. If some job came along needing a team, Mort would go out and buy some old broken winded nag. Mort got a job hauling freight some 15 miles from the nearest railway station. Mort's good horse was just a bit fast for the old nag. When he pulled in to the railway station with one fast and one slow horse, a few young lads started poking fun about his slow horse. Mort said, " OOOOOOHH, he's not bad, only got behind by 4 feet in 11 miles."
