Ah, the ever graceful Moose! This boy lives up to his name with those long legs and big THUMP THUMP gait he has going on there. Those legs have a bit of a mind of their own and this young Belgian gelding is still working out the kinks. You can't say he doesn't have potential and one day he will be leading a gorgeous team while the crowd cheers seeing their beautiful action and glimmering tack!

I often camp out at the Heavy Horse Show at the Calgary Stampede and have accumulated thousands of reference photos of these gentle giants. The beauty of having them all in one place and getting to see all ages and colors is always the highlight of my Stampede. They get dolled up so nicely with their ribbons and raffia and stunning harnesses. It's a sight to be seen as they circle around the arena and show off their high step and grace.

I hope you enjoy this long legged snugglebug. I picture him being a big puppy and excitedly trotting up with those uncoordinated legs to get some snuggles and treats, and of course, some boops! Drafty boops are just too irresistible!
