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.
