I enjoy horseback riding(equestrianism)!  Do you ride?

I used to ride! I still own horses, but I've trained them for practical working purposes now. They pull farm equipment for me.

Really!  That's practical.  Are they horses specifically bred for that purpose?
1_Wizard
The ones I own are not, but I've worked with breeds like the Percheron that are bred to be "in harness".

Interesting!  How much do these horses weigh?
