    Re: Check out our new horses! Percheron Crosses

    Good luck training them! I bet they will be a joy once they understand what you want. You guys will be riding them all over in no time! ^_^
    LOL stocky is an understatement! The mare is ridiculously fat! I couldn't even get my biggest cinch to fit around her belly and had to ride her bareback. I agree about their legs too! I think it must be because they are crosses, full blood Percherons don't look like they are standing on stubby broomsticks lol.

    I can't wait till they understand riding comands! I'm so excited! They are so gentle and patient I don't think I'll have any troubles with them. I even got the gelding to lope! It was SOOOOO slow! I think my little paint mare could trot faster than he lopes!

    Glad to hear that they aren't giving you too much trouble with riding them.

    Best of luck!
    Thank you! I'm really happy with them! I haven't worked with many draft horses but I'm always pleasantly surprised at how calm and gentle they are.

    I bet that stallion is gorgeous!
