Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to heavy harness a Clydesdale! The horse's name was Tom, and he was pretty tall (that part should be obvious). Like many other Clydes, he was a bay sabino.
I was able to take pictures of Tom being harnessed, and also of other drafts at that barn. :)

 |
| Awww. It's a rotten picture, yeah, but I love draft horse heads. <3 |
 |
| This is what some of the swirling-ish white looked like on the flaxen sabino Clyde. |
 |
| They have such large muzzles. XD |
 |
| Isn't the horse beautiful? I reallllly really like the white extended stockings. |
 |
| And there's the heavy harness before having been pulled out over the back and rump. |
 |
| Okay, yes, I *am* obsessed with the hind legs. But hey - they're so pretty! The white stockings with the bay is just lovely. |
 |
| The flaxen chestnut Clyde. |
 |
| I'm pretty certain this mare is Abigail. |
 |
| This black mare is a Percheron x TB cross, which makes her a warmblood! It was really neat to meet her, because I've always liked warmbloods and she was the first I've ever been close to. :) |
 |
| His white markings are just fabulous. |
 |
| As a scale, here are Tom and I. I'm about 5'8", so yes, he is a big boy. |
 |
| Feathers! We got to touch these, and they're really silky. |
