Those two are our friend's horses that my wife helps out with. I believe they're both geldings.
As nice as they are, don't let them fool you, they do act up! Not nearly as much as other horses, but they make up for it with their size. I think I posted this picture here before, but seems like a good point to stick it in. He was just doing his little before work tantrum, nothing crazy, but with the size of these things, you've really got to be on your toes.
The biggest danger is spooking them. They're normally very docile, but When they're scared you don't want to be anywhere near them.
I'll never forget we had our Blondi cross tied in our friends barn when we first got her - she was nervous to begin with in a strange place, then something spooked her and I've never seen anything like it. jumping up and down kicking, snapped the cross ties like they weren't even there, kicked a cart 10 feet back that hit my wife - HUGE bruise from that. I was ready to return her!
You can see their power in pulls and that kind of thing - but you'll never appreciate it as much as being trapped in a barn with one that wants nothing but to get out. eeeeesh.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
