Should drafts be ridden?

[lbaker]

The last time I went riding (last June, sooo long ago) I rode Bud, a huge, gentle giant of a Clydesdale. He was so magnificant I went back the next day and went out again!

I kind of ride a big draft horse, but he's a haflinger/qh mix. He's so strong! He's awesome to ride, and loves it

My favorite horse that I ever rode was named Green, and he was a HUGE shire cross.

Yep. My friend got a new Clydsdale (sp?) cross. She rides him and he's soooo beautiful!!

i've not ridden a draft before but i hear they are pretty smooth under the saddle.

I've only ever ridden a draft cross. He was a dutch warmblood/belgian mix and he was great! It is interesting feeling as though your legs don't even come half way around the horse though, haha.

Saddling a draft is fine. I knew one back at the barn & his owner was SCARED to death of a fast horse or a jumping horse. She got him as hes much slower & has NO will to run nor jump.

I thinking making a huge horse jump is wrong.
