These are not clydesdales. The black horse is half shire half friessian and the other is a horse out of Ireland. They both worked most of their life as logging horses.

I agree with that - my grandpa spent a lot of time working clydesdales on a farm in Motherwell- those horses are taking the right sized step with the plough and he's working the reins as well - also nice to see a pair working without blinkers on- grandpa says - blinkers for roadwork only, i get fed up seeing clydesdales used to pulling carts on a plough trying to take massive steps and having somebody else - hold them back at the front - but this guy hes well practised shows how 1 man can do it

I think if you visit Scotland again you'll find our farmers are as up to date as anywhere - but it doesn't mean like the guy says they have ditched the horse - this is a craft now the preserve of competition. Horses went out on regular farm use over 40 years ago!

Ps - They may very well have easy access to tractors and modern machinery as we do here in America, but that doesn't mean that there aren't those of us who still desire to partner with our horses and maintain the age-old bond of working along side of them. I have draft horses and live a modern lifestyle, but still work them doing light farm work like this. It's the best therapy available. It's good for man and beast in many ways.

Those horses aren't tired - they're extremely well trained/handled. If you work with horses, you'll soon find what I mean. It takes a long time to get a team to be so steady and responsive to such gentle cues. This gentleman has put a lot of time into that team. They're good, hard, conditioned horses pulling a nice steady line. They don't appear to be the least bit fatigued. Horses that size and in that shape could a plow at that pace all day long. Well done.

these horses look exhausted, dont they have tractors over there by now? I grew up in the Clyde valley and back then I used to walk to school and I'd stop and watch those beautiful animls working hard, that was 50 years ago, I did not realize that they still use them as plough horses still. I guess there not as modern in Scotland as I thought they were,they are Brautiful majestic animals so give them a little rest. thank you for the vidoe, even although it made me a little sad.
