	Horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Horses have long been one of the most economically important domesticated animals, and have played an important role in the transport of people and cargo for thousands of years.
		Horses and other equids are odd-toed ungulates of the order Perissodactyla, a relatively ancient group of browsing and grazing animals that first arose less than 10 million years after the dinosaurs became extinct.
		All horses move naturally with four basic gaits; these are referred to as the walk, the trot/jog, the canter/lope ("canter" in English riding, "lope" in Western), and the gallop.

	Hoofcare and Lameness Magazine Archives -- Shoeing heavy horses in England
		The horse that was worked hard and regularly was seldom difficult to shoe as they were, in the main, handled by people who knew their job and not influenced by the 'gentle-giant' syndrome we know today.
		Heavy horse shoeing is hard work but is made a lot harder by horses that have never been taught to stand and have their feet handled.
		The toeing knife is a useful tool for heavy horse shoeing, the best ones are made from about 16" of old sword blade ground sharp on one end, and in the hands of a skilful doorman will reduce the wall to a level where the use of the rasp will be hardly necessary.

	Breeds of Livestock - Noric Horse
		Horse breeding there was in the hands of the archbishops of Salzburg.
		The result was the heavy alpine Noric, which ultimately served as a riding, carriage, and work horse for knights, farmers, and merchants in the Middle Ages.
		This is also reflected in the trend away from the original heavy breed to a horse with a good gait combined with sense of balance, sure step, and climbing ability.

	- Chapter 10
		Medium draft horses would be used in teams of two to eight to pull plows, harrows, and wagons on the farms.
		An Oldenburg horse was a horse bred by Graf Johann XVI von Oldenburg or his son, Graf Anton Günther von Oldenburg.
		These horses were known as "Oldenburgs." However, as Graf Anton Günther allowed tenants and others to breed their mares to his stallions, the term "Oldenburg" might also apply to animals that did not come from the Graf's breeding program.

		Working horses day after day the routine wants to remain constant but it varies, and it can be different and yet similar in important ways.
		Another dream is to raise a team of Suffolk Punch draft horses, also a rare breed, and train them to do essential work on the farm.

	Heavy Horses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heavy Horses is an album released by Jethro Tull on April 10, 1978 (see 1978 in music).
		It is one of the last albums which saw the acoustic-celtic-rock flavor of much of Jethro Tull's middle music, before becoming synthesizer heavy.
		Together with Songs From The Wood and Stormwatch it represents the realisation of an ideal - rock songs that cover previously untouched subject matters; here ecological and English mystical concerns.

	History of the Percheron
		Today, Percherons are primarily noted for their heavy draft work but in the 8th century Arabian and other oriental horses were mated with the heavy native horses and cob stock, producing the first of the Percheron horses.
		It is an elegant heavy horse due to the infusions for the Oriental-type blood throughout the centuries.
		Also, a horse with a neat, clean throat line can tolerate a lot more heat than one that is coarse and rather fleshy between the head and the shoulder.

	Ground and Sky review - Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses
		Unfortunately the two tracks that don't seem to sit well on this album are the longer ones, "No Lullabies" and "Heavy Horses".
		The title track seems to be a confession of Ian's love of country living, and the noble work of the farmer, but it is dedicated to a variety of working horses that are used for farming.
		Heavy Horses consists of short concise musical statements, with only two tracks going over five minutes, but there is a wealth of music to be heard.

	Belgian
		Belgium is/was the largest producer of coldblooded horses in Europe and was famous for breeding heavy horses in the earlier ages.
		Therefore, the horse that was considered in many other European countries as the Ardennais, was not even from the distance a relative of the Ardennes origin, but he was actually a smaller version of the Belgic from “anywhere”.
		From the war and tournament horses became draft horses pulling carts or ships; which actually served to their preservation, because their breed lacking the demand was slowly disappearing during the centuries.

	Gypsy Horse, Irish Cob, Gypsy Vanner Horses at Black Forest Shires
		The heavy feather on their legs, along with long flowing manes and tails added to the overall flash and flare long associated with the misunderstood and usually discriminated-against gypsy people.
		Although many horses of similar type are bred indiscriminately in Europe, the most sought after type of gypsy horses are bred by generations of gypsy families which have prized and guarded bloodlines that produce the highest quality horses imaginable.
		Traditionally, the gypsy horse is involved in every aspect of family life, faithfully pulling the caravan wagon by day, while still being amenable and patient enough to teach the gypsy children to ride when the day is done.

		This album, on the whole, is not top-grade Tull, but the title track "Heavy Horses" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written by the group.
		Heavy Horses does not pose itself as a "great" album in my mind, yet for some reason, it has stuck with me. When I think of JT, I hear "Acres Wild," "Moths," and "One Brown Mouse." But it is the bittersweet paean to the Scottish Clydesdale that most claims my memory for representative Tull.
		You might want to listen to this album after all the others are said and done, in a quiet time, sipping a glass of wine at the end of a hectic day when your appreciation of the old-fashioned value of perseverance is heightened and your appetite for the profound is satisfied in simply being.

	Heavy Horses Lyrics
		The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie with the Shire on his feathers floating Hauling soft timber into the dusk to bed on a warm straw coating.
		Heavy Horses, move the land under me Behind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free Now you're down to the few And there's no work to do The tractor's on its way.
		Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill Up into the cold wind facing In stiff battle harness, chained to the world Against the low sun racing Bring me a wheel of oaken wood A rein of polished leather A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky Brewing heavy weather.
