Draft Horses!!!
I spent many an hour watching the various Draft Horse events at the Canfield Fair!
It always amazed me how the Pulling teams would stand SO quietly in line
just*watching* all the other teams hitch to the sled and take off ...
the *waiters* seemed like many of them were sleeping on their feet.
UNTIL their crew flicked the reins and it was THEIR turn to pull ...
Like turning on a switch - they'd 'light up' and almost jump out of their skins
getting lined up on the pulling sled ... no need to tell 'em to "pull" -
as soon as their tree *clanked* onto the sled - LOOK OUT!
After the whistle, they'd *prance* back to their place in the lineup and
settl in for anothe lil nap. AMAZING creatures!
Will Kia and Chipper *share* their apartment with Tommie?
