My horse experience is limited to what I picked up from watching the lone ranger as a kid.
My wife on the other hand grew up with horses - just not draft horses. But she was also young and her father did most of the worrying about what and how to feed them.
She's also been working with some friends in town who also have belgians, doing wagon rides, tedding fields, etc. So she's got a few years experience working them. But again, not a lot of experience in feeding them.
We do have a good farrier. He came with the horses so he knows them well.
Both horses are 6 years old. We have some amish friends in Ohio, one of them sold these horses to somebody else back here in town a few years ago. Then that person decided to give them to us last year, since they no longer had the time to care for them.
The amish friend who sold them passed away a few months ago, so It means a lot to me to have his horses, even though I'm not much of a horse person.
I am getting more and more involved with them as I get used to them.
I'm more used to cows - these things are BIG.

The bigger of the two is 18 1/2 hands. whatever that means! - I just know I'm a little intimidated by the size.
I do have plenty of people around for brain-picking, but as I said before - I get so many conflicting answers, (and many "well, I don't know if it's right, but it's what I do type answers). So I like to ask as many people as I can and sort of average out the responses.
So Nancy I may take you up on that and pick your brain from time to time too.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
