Well thank god some Belgians won at least-it's funn y how guys who've got everything else o the ranch wired together or tied on with twine will move heaven and earth to make sure they're team is matched-myself included. I sold a buddy of mine a pair of full brothers that are as close to matched as I've ever been able to raise.

NR we had our eye on this team of mares for several years before the owner finally decided to sell, so we grabbed them quick! Haven't regretted it for a moment. I've always been a Belgian fan, whereas the son likes Clydes. There is just no accounting for some children's taste!

Great frame job Lil!

As for the comment on the Clydes. My father in law grew up in the sandhills, pulling hay onto sleds, in the winter, to feed cattle with. He alway said about Clydes, "Why on earth would anybody want any of them? It takes 8 of them to pull an empty beer wagon!" Wink

I like my belgins. Just wish this younger team was broke! Mad

Alot of pretty good buckling horses go back to a Clyde here and there. A friend of mine has around 20 Clyde mares they're beautiful horses-he's got one stud is actually built like a draft horse not a hitch horse. I'm trying to get brave enough to try a team of mules-I've seen some real nice ones over the years.

There you go NR, you and my son have the same taste. He likes Clydes, in spite of the saddle bronc that orbited him into the oxone. He also likes mules, and it would seem the homlier they are the better he likes them. I like mules too, until they open their mouths to talk! Our neighbor raises mules, and each time my son mentions mules I remind him of this neighbor's broken leg, hand, etc. Not eveyone is cut out for mules. I don't mind Clydes, people, don't get me wrong, I just have always been a big Belgian fan. Not so much feather, so less scratches to deal with than Clydes.
