An incredible display of power turns two southeastern Minnesota horses into internet sensations.
Belgian horses Prince and Molly helped pull a semi-truck with an empty trailer up an icy driveway in Mabel after it got stuck at the bottom more than a week ago.

The word record for a single horse pulling is 29 tons. Yes. 29 tons pulled by a single horse. That's insane. Nature is full of insane things.

@@janinecarson8380 True, but without the nature of Eophippus being what it is, and their particular physicality, they never could have produced the draft horses. A team of oxen couldn't do it. I find it a bit heartbreaking to see how horses will do whatever man asks them to do, no matter what, on a battlefield or on a racetrack; and they're often poorly treated, and sent to slaughter after their usefulness is ended. I hope this fellow keeps them until they're old and out to pasture. He treats them well, cares for them, I hope he keeps them beyond their use as draft horses. They make great riding horses, if you want to really improve your riding seat, just sit on one of those at the trot for an hour every day, on a longe line, with no stirrups.

This reminds me of my friends Percheron gelding Bob. One winter day my friend went off the edge of his icy driveway into the snow. It was about 2 feet deep and he was stuck pretty good. He harnessed Bob up and asked him to pull it out.. Bob was a character he would hit the ends of the traces and bounce back like they were rubber... he did this when he figured something was too heavy for him, or he didn’t really want to work at the time. So my friend went in the house to call for a tractor, leaving Bob hooked to the truck. looks out the window Ashe is on the phone and there goes Bob towards the barn pulling the truck... he got bored of standing there and decided to go home to the barn... he was a big goofy puppy in a huge horses body.

Reminds me of something that happened in front of my house out in the country years ago. Icy roads with deep snow offside. A 1 ton pickup slid into the ditch across from my house. The driver got out and walked on to the farm down the road from me. About a half hour later, he and the farmer come up the road on a John Deere. Hooked it up, pulled, and the back end of the tractor skewed right down into the ditch. Both men walked on back down the road. About an hour later, here they both come with a draft horse harnessed and dragging a heavy chain. First the horse pulled out the tractor, then it pulled out the truck. :D

They are amazing. When tractors came along in the Canadian west, the tractor companies would talk farmers into trading their horses for a tractor, and so many of them fell for it. The horses were then slaughtered by the tractor company, to speed up eliminating the competition. I hope they're all in hell now. We were better off with horse teams, farming would not have expanded so hugely, and we wouldn't be involved with China and global trade deals.

One of my friends and her husband have bred draft horses trained for farming for 4 decades. They always have buyers for them. Not too many people farming with horses any more, but it just makes so much sense for a small holding.

Back in the day I had a team.. and all you had to say in the yard was "Hey We have a LOAD" and they'd come up and stand to get harnessed. With that huge mass. I watched it and realized I was mumbling " come on my boys, come on my boys, Gee gee gee get in the snow.. come on my boys". They are not slaves nor are they robots. Until you work with a horse that big and strong, you'll never understand that they could kill you in an instance or just refuse to do anything, unless they loved you.

Clydesdales are my favourite breed. I have one on the farm (he's around 17 hands) and ride occasionally and he's the sweetest horse I've known. They seem aware of their size and I don't have a problem with letting him hang out near the road even though children will sometimes pet him through the fence. He loves the attention and sometimes ignores me when I call him in favour of looking out for people to say hello to. 🤣

These big drafters have been bred since medieval times to carry or pull enormous weight. The 'knights of old' in suits of armor rode these horses. Bred for strength, stamina and to battle. People who own them today value them for showing, pleasure and work. This team was perfectly willing to do what was asked of them. Very cool

A great team that knows how to work together! If a horse is unable to pull the weight, they won't. They know their limit. I asked my horse to pull a log once and it was too heavy. He just side stepped back and forth but wouldn't pull after his first effort. On other logs, he pulled them easily and licked his lips and bobbed his head each time he successfully moved a log in place (horse language for happiness). I was building a log barn for him and he helped. Horses are amazing!😊

Hey Suzanne . A cowboy buys a horse from the town pastor. The pastor explains, “To make the horse go, you gotta yell, ‘Thank God!’ And to make it stop, yell, ‘Hallelujah.’” The cowboy rides away. He rides all day and starts to nod off in the saddle when he notices he is about to ride straight over a cliff. Searching his memory, he yells to the horse, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” The horse grinds to a stop just at the edge of the cliff. The cowboy wipes the sweat off his forehead. “Phew!” the cowboy sighs. “Thank God!”...

Its like they see someone else have a good thing going for them and they just suddenly want to take it from themselves. Is it just me that feels irked by that. Its the same mindset of someone who is a side man or woman. They see a great relationship between spouses and want to take it for themselves. Not all cases obviously but some. The whole "I want what you have " mindset can be annoying. Im happy for this man his amazing team.

The tire is the key. Using a fore-cart the impact of the horses hitting the harness caused the fore cart to jump wildly back and forth. My Amish neighbor used his team on a fedex truck whose driver got his big truck stuck in my driveway. This driver should be demoted to load and unload only. He had no idea how to drive in winter conditions. He was doing everything wrong. He was putting my firewood in front of his tires. He was on a hill that has an added angle to the side. Every step uphill took him sideways too. It was the horses that finally did it...each horse has one horse power. But they can pull like crazy.

Cats that have traveled thousands of miles to find their human if that's not loyal I don't know what it is. The Incredible Journey is based on a true story. It was redone and a lot of people now know the story by the title of Homeward Bound. But the original story of Homeward Bound was based off of a book called The Incredible Journey. Two dogs and cat make their way through Canadian wilderness. Cats are badass creatures. When cats came over from Africa science shows us that the cat killed off 40 species of dog. That's how bad ass cats are. Don't mind me I'm just a crazy nerdy cat lady.

You know that team knew they were doing well, knew he was pleased with them. I'm betting they were pretty proud of themselves! I dare say he gave them a treat with dinner.

I had the same thing happen when I was driving truck in the mid 90's. Horse cave, KY an Amish family had a small sawmill, it was light snow and ice, light load on the deck and couldn't get up the hill, kinda like this video, went and got the neighbor and his team. Pulled my 379 Pete and 45ft flatbed up the hill, it was an amazing thing as they didnt seem to work too hard doing it. ! Yes, I believe that his horses love him!

@@susantunbridge4612 Thanks, Susan! I was taught that also, but I could never understand how something (the universe, or even its building blocks) came from nothing. Seems to me there has to be something or someone to get it started. Evolution requires raw materials, IOW, so I don't think it answer all the questions. Cheers!

@David Erickson I had a big fedex truck stuck in my yard and my Amish neighbor brought down two drafts and a forecart. Once hooked to the truck and asked to go the forecart hit the end of the chain and jumped to be inline with the truck. I was sure someone would get hurt. He kept hitting that chain and jumping back and forth. A tire would have eased the breakaway point. We were also dealing with a driver who barely spoke English, he also seemed to not know how to drive. He had piled firewood in front of his tires???........after that torture went on ten or fifteen minutes he brought more horses down and eventually fox fedex out of my driveway and his corn field. Three horsepower beat a 450 horsepower up a slippery slope of half frozen mud and gravel.

The term horsepower really is outed, I was googling and on paper a 1700 draft horse in its prime, in its front end alone, produces over 2700lb of equivalent torque, that is incredible.

My grandma has 4 Belgian drafts. The same type in the video. They are really strong and super sweet. The biggest one is Charlie, which he stands about 25 hands tall, which is equal to about 9.5 feet, when he is standing fully upright from his feet to his ears and weighs close to 2 tons. The other 3 names are Willow, Major, and Mack.

Out in the alflafa fields outside my town theres a farmer that only uses draft teams to do all the , cutting, turning, baling and picking up the bales. Its a beautiful thing to watch and both sides of the roads are people parked watching when hes out there, word gets out fast and they come from alll over, the most beautiful six team, dun color with cream manes and tails, and he always uses show harness, he is very very proud and Im sure he loves everyone watching.
