Gorgeous!I love draught horses so much, they are beautiful. What a striking horse there! Unusual for such a baby to be so much of a pushover
Bless him...Maybe if they changed his bit he would be more forward-going? I think thats a gag, but not sure.... Maybe put the reins through the second ring?
Anyway, LOVELY horse!

My friend would love to work him but it's hard to find the time! Charlie is able to pull a cart though so hoping she invests in one and we can take him out with that 
Her late grandfather used to show his clydes but the family have only kept Charlie and one other since he passed and don't really have the same enthusiasm for it

Never actually ridden one of these, but my friend had one, she used to plod out on him for miles most days and I remember her saying once how she must have fallen asleep on him coz she didn't remember which way home she came lol!Blimey, you could have a party up there couldn't you!
but what about those legs wrapped around something as wide as him, bet they ached next day!
I hadn't been on a horse for 6 years and then this fella!!! He's brilliant though

I'll admit to knowing nothing about tack but I think they are investing in a new saddle and bridle for him soon as they are taking him out more now. He's such a lovely chap that he deserves some new made-to-measure clobber! Will mention about the reins in the meantime though xoxox
