This is the best Belgian we have ever owned! His name is King, and he is 21 years old. His work ethic and Kyle's are the same, when it comes to logging. You will notice the "toothpick" King is pulling is fairly easy. In the woods, he pulls out 16 foot oak logs that are 12-24 inches around. He gets help from Holly, another Belgian, with the bigger logs. Somewhere I have a similar picture, where all 4 feet are off the ground and it's like he is flying! Oftentimes Kyle rides the log out of the woods, as he is doing in this picture. I made the harness King has on, which I would appreciate no one copying. Custom sewing is my livelyhood, and I make a lot of harnesses, tack, saddlebags, panniers, and various other horse-related items. I have a notion of making a saddle or two one of these days, and I bought all the leather, books, and tools to do it. With that investment, I could have bought a very expensive saddle, but then the pride wouldn't be there, would it? I am having a hard time finding the right tree, however, so if anyone knows where I can find a rawhide covered wooden tree for a draft horse, let me know.
