"But my horse tried just as hard"....International Plowing Match is on!

It's a big time annual event and this year it's being held in Double J country in Teeswater, Ontario I wonder if he's covering it.

Went to one a number of years ago. Lots of fun.

In Canada a plowing match is a full contact sport.

 

I don't know my horses, but with those short legs and big bodies, they look more like mules than horses.

 

As long as you can bet on it, I'm in...

 

They're not mules.

They're draft horses. I'm not an expert on breeds but the ones in the pic could be Belgians.

 

Gorgeous looking horses tho...

 

Hmmm I looked them up. There's many varieties.
American Cream
Ardennes
Belgian
Boulonnais
Breton
Clydesdale
Dole Gudbrandsdal
Irish Draught
Percheron
Shire
Suffolk Punch

 

You know, if it wasn't for my horse, I never would have spent that year in college.

 

How did Guinness get into a horse thread?

 

The better question is why does a hangover suddenly have me talking like a hillbilly?

On another note, look at this.



That's a big horse.

 

You sure that isn't beer?

 

Nicely played.

 

How come the JV horses never get any coverage??
