My dad had Percherons as a youth in eastern Iowa.....

These were black Percherons. Very very big to a 5 year boy.
My cousin and I would get them into the barn with a little grain and then get up on the slats on the fence in their stalls and jump on. Out of the barn we would fly ducking our heads just barely getting out the door. Two little boys on one, sometimes both of the horses. Usually we could get them to go no more then a couple hundred yards and then they would stop. We rode those big monsters bare back. Legs sticking straight out in both directions like in the splits. NO Way I could do that now. <VBG>

These horses had not been worked for a couple of years. But there was no way my Grandfather was going to get rid of them. Which now as I look back was something as everything on ranches in North Dakota paid its way. It must of have been quite a bond that devolped between them.
I gotta go, family do this afternoon
Good Luck Don
