Interesting, thanks for posting that.

What breed are they? Some of the darker horses would be Cleveland Bay, but do they come in black and gray?

I was surprise that they were not better behaved. They all seem to have their heads up high. But hey they behaved WAY better then my boys would have infront of a couple of million people!

Thanks for posting

That's alot of horsepower! They sure were beautiful. I was also a little surprized at the way they were acting. I guess I just expected them to be as calm and quiet as Skipper!
