Looks like a lot of Belgians . I absolutely love how much heart and drive these horses have!! I mean to see how excited they get while attempting to hook them up is just amazing !! I think most of them took off when they heard the sound of them being attached to the truck!
This is so beautiful. Working horses that love to work but are taken care of. Also how they’re in sync together. Horses are awesome beautiful animals and they love and stay loyal to their owner, and absolutely never let you down. I love it ❤️
Thank you for sharing the whole show of the horse pull. I greatly enjoyed watching it. From a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦🇺🇸
They may have some serious heels on their shoes but they are very well taken care of all the time this is a sport that you bank your bootie these guys are treated all the time like kings. I love these animals and the people that own them.0u❤
Those heels are caulks or in Europe - caulkins ... You can have 2 heels caulked or add another caulk to the toe as well , depending upon what your horses need to perform their best . 3 Day Event horses use screw in studs depending upon what kind of land they're competing upon - grass , hard going or mud ... These heavy horses & 3Day Event horses are apples to oranges or chalk & cheese though . 😊
Some animal rights weirdo will say this is abuse. Those horses probably think about pulling all day. They were bred for thousands of years! Such great looking horses.
I just watched a top pull of 9,100 lbs from the Sept-2022 event out of Angelica, NY - almost double what was pulled here! Don't get me wrong, these horses are truly amazing, just wondering why such a significant difference in competition pull weights for similar sized Draft Horses?
@@jcoutdoorfever ah yes, you're right the event was boats with blocks on dirt, didn't realize the difference in load-style would make such a difference in ability to pull higher weights. And 2yrs ago, I watched a competition that topped at around 9,600 lb with SINGLE Belgian horses pulling the boat on a damp sandy area, I imagine the wet sand didn't restrict momentum and allowed for such a weighty pull... and by a single horse! I enjoy watching these powerful horses and have zero knowledge of the workings behind the sport, so thank you for the informative reply.
QUESTION Never seen this before. Is this at Montana state university? Why do the horse get agitated when getting hooked to truck? #17 & #18 look like teams not to mess with.
Can you tell me if they have posted a date on the horse pulls for 2023 at Michigan State? We would like to attend but I'm not sure where to find the info on this event. Thanks so much!
Horse pulls are cruel!!! It puts way too much strain on the horse. These poor horses will have all kinds of orthopedic, joint and lameness issues and if they don't, it will be a miracle. Abuse!!!!
Horses were NEVER and I mean NEVER meant to pull such heavy loads. Look at the way they struggle at the start. Do you think that's healthy? Way to ruin a horse's back and hocks. I wonder how long those competition horses last before they are lame. These horse pulls may be interesting to watch until you really think about it and realize what you are seeing. Powerful horses manhandled to pull weights that their bodies strain to handle. The horses gape their mouths at the start because the guys yanking the reins are HURTING them. Yeah, looks like fun. Right.
Agreed. Modern horse pulling contests are wretched events chasing after dollars and trophies with a bunch of fat jackasses shamefully clinging to fragile egos through the disgusting misuse of magnificent creatures. Those gentle giants are NOT physically designed for power jerking of heavy loads. Harness and collars only work properly with the draft physique when the horse is pushing into the equipment. The harness was meant to ease the strain on the horse. Not so with this sickening sport. The creatures pay the price with injuries, discarding at auctions and even death. at slaughter plants.
My grandfather had these type of horses. He worked the land with them, built a beautiful barn for them & took children on buggy Christmas rides. They proudly walked in the parade. Everyone in town loved my grandfather's beautiful horses.✌💜
Can you say human sports are any better?.......... No ,........ I though not......... Daily........ Yes...Children A lot....... Take up the abuse of kids!!!!!
If this was done elsewhere outside of Canada and the United States and their "friendly" nations...surely animal protection groups would ban it , calling it "animal cruelty" . Those innocent poor animals are suffering pulling all that weight just for humans to be entertained and generate revenue through fees and betting and TH-cam content and what not. I see no beauty in this activity other than pure human greediness and torture towards animals. No offence given and I hope none taken.
These horses are bred for precisely this job. They are well treated athletes. Whips are forbidden and they pull for only a few seconds at a times. Ask a human athlete if he considers his sport torture.
They may be taken care of, but it is extremely difficult on their back. Once in a while one actually suffers a broken back, which lasts their lifetime. Actually a cruel sport.
Had it not been for these magnificent beasts ancestors, your existence on this wold would not have been guaranteed!!! These magnificent beasts turned a barren land into farm land that fed the world!
You do realize that Mr. Watts "official" One Horsepower is more like the amount of power put out by a small pony at a walk, don't you? By the actual standard each of these in the team, pulling hard, is in the realm of 10-20 'brake' HP, or apx. 7.5- 15 Kilowatts, or about ten of your microwave's power output. Each!

Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? Job 39:19 Amazing beautiful animals !

not a sport but a terrible business.
Not sure yet if you are dumb or just ignorant
Animals are the happiest when they do what they were made to do. God made some animals to do different things.

It would be interesting to watch the horses via binoculars, so you could see them really close up ❤
Miss those shows at MSU living out of state now.

I have seen the same horses pull 10 to 11 thousand pounds. The Todd machine is so different. The higher amounts were boats with blocks.

How many horsepower they makin though
I never remember them pulling the truck. just a stoneboat with cement blocks.
Did you like it?
O owner of the channel, can you tell me the type of breed of these huge horses? 🐎🍁
Belgian draft horse
QUESTION
Never seen this before.
Is this at Montana state university?
Why do the horse get agitated when getting hooked to truck?
#17 & #18 look like teams not to mess with.
Michigan. Thanks for watching and commenting.
They are competitors, adrenaline builds in competitors.
Race horses, trotters any horse that is trained and extremley fit for sport, get excited and edgy b4 they perform.They actually love what they do. 😊
Lots of try!
The SIZE of team 16! Units!
It is beautiful to watch but my if one of these animals get injured where they can't compete any longer what happens to the injured animal?
There is a veterinarian on the premises
There is a vet & ?... the horse goes to slaughter?
Can you tell me if they have posted a date on the horse pulls for 2023 at Michigan State? We would like to attend but I'm not sure where to find the info on this event. Thanks so much!
It says on one of the banners in the video Oct 12-15 2023
@@jcoutdoorfeverok thank you so much!! I love watching your videos!
The Michigan State football offensive line should practice with them.
How much weight are these horses pulling?
All different weights.. they start low and go high
🤔 tell me how this is different than the big lick
It doesn't hurt.
What to hell is that contraption .
I have no idea what horses are Not doing good after every performance the guy will announce good job I am completely confused and who is winning
Most horses pull the weight each time. But at the end the weight is too much. Then they go by how many feet.
Horse pulls are cruel!!! It puts way too much strain on the horse. These poor horses will have all kinds of orthopedic, joint and lameness issues and if they don't, it will be a miracle. Abuse!!!!
Nope
Nice pink shirt there @59:28, is he representing the LGBTQ-equines?
Some horse pulls they would be disqualified for slamming into the load like that.

Do you enjoy some kind of sport and put all the effort in that you can? because that’s what those horses do they love what they’re doing
They pull plow`s all day long in the hot weather ,ths is nothing for a short time , they were bred for it, this isn`t a my little pony disney movie

*Snort* Look at the horses dancing and prancing as they get ready to pull. They're enjoying this, at least as much as the humans.
These are working horses
They may be taken care of, but it is extremely difficult on their back. Once in a while one actually suffers a broken back, which lasts their lifetime. Actually a cruel sport.
What ever.
@@treetrimmerguy2 Dumbass response from you!
There is one in every crowd, bla bla bla...
What an ass

Impressive display of.... 2 horse power, my 1500 watt microwave can probably do better
