Heavy horses such as the Belgians or Percherons are indeed the most majestic of horses and have a better demeanor than most other breeds Personally this is my favorite event, as I used to help my uncle with his team. We have been in the Stampede pull many times and it is great to see someone who is promoting this event as it is not always seen to be as glamorous as the chucks, but it is something everyone should see once.
