I wish I was able to see a big guy like that in person. Tallest horse I've ever seen is in my pasture and he's 16.2 or so.

[HoustonFarrier]

He's 18.3hh barefoot....19hh in shoes....SOB is hell to harness :p

Steve

[lovesfortune]

Yeah, I don't even know what that would look like. :)

Kinda of OT: but are any of your horses trained to ride Steve or just drive? I don't remember if I've ever seen a picture of any of them being ridden.

Yes, we have trained quite a few...and have sold them. In fact, one of the mares we trained (Shiela) was ridden in the parade with us. Now, we certainly don't get them ready for 2nd level dressage or anything, but they are safe, nice horses to ride. All have been smaller mares. Big geldings like Sam....just are not fun to ride. Too rough...too wide....too tall.....feet too big, you bounce like a ping-pong ball on them.

Have any pictures??

[HoustonFarrier]

Have any pictures??
Of our drafts riding ????? Somewhere on a CD....let me look.....

Steve

[lovesfortune]

Yes. Only look if you have time. I know it's totally unrelated to your post.

I am uploading images to my webshots....look at the TDHMA 2005 Annual Seminar album...you'll see pics of Annabelle being ridden, as well as a few others .......

All I have to say is HOLY COW is he big. I hope you keep a step ladder handy. I have trouble with our 17.3hh belgian.

I wish my hubby would have to tack up a horse that size. Then he could see how I feel tacking up mine and maybe not say, "What's taking you so long?"
Those are beautiful animals. I love to see them.

[Piper522]

Sam is so gorgeous! All I can say is WOW.

[Equine_Woman]

Oh you know I love your horses. Seriously a show stopper!!! I bet his feet really are the size of plates!

[lovesfortune]

Thanks for the extra pictures. Both of them are so HUGE! I showed hubby and he said, "I need a horse like that, but how would I get on?"

8...and one in the oven......

Steve

Right on! I can't wait to see pictures of the little one once it's not "in the oven" anymore!

Any of yours carry the Budweiser blood?

[HoustonFarrier]

Any of yours carry the Budweiser blood?

yes, we have a Belleau Deward grand-daughter. She will be bred in 2009 for a 2010 foal.

Wow Steve, that Sam is a phenomenal horse. You're right about him being stunning. The others in your album, too.

Is that you dressed up in the clown suit with the Clydesdale wearing sunglasses and all. It's a cute photo.

Thanks for sharing.

No, that is my wife.

[Dakota Sunrise]

Wow, great pictures! Beautiful horses!

[FoxFireEMT]

Wow he is beautiful.

[Steelhorserider]

Very nice horses Steve. Thanks for sharing the pics. My first horse was a 1/2 Clydes and 1/2 TB. Dumbest mistake I ever made was selling him. If I ever found him again I would let him live out his life with me. He was the best!!!

[JetLagaside]

They are just awsome!

[Vibe]

Woah.. Boy is he flashy!

[jeezitsjacki]

very nice pictures, I always love seeing them

[gaited07]

Oh, I LOVE SAM!!! He is so PURDY;)
