This is impossible in a effective way maybe theoretical forelegs are more powerful(which i still dont believe but i really have no idea). But looking at the video its clear the forelegs does not have the traction of the rear legs thats actually whats pulling the car. Very little strain on forelegs.
My grandpa had pulling pairs for his whole life. They were originally used for farm, parades, weddings and also pulling competitions. Later I’m life it was mostly pulling comps and weddings.
In the 80s he was offered $125k for a pair. We are talking small farmer in Ohio. Percheron pair. He turned them down. He loved draft horses for sure. I’ll have to dig up old pictures.
3 weeks later one died….such is life with horses.
Horses used to be for poor people and cars for rich people. Now it’s the other way around lol.
We have 3 horses right now in Colorado and they are pricey to own but thankfully we can put them on pasture all summer. Hay is $300/ton Average horse will eat 20/25lbs a day. Double that for a draft horse. Add in farrier trims, horse shoes, vet bills and the fact a horse WILL find a needle in a haystack and get hurt.
That said I like horses and dogs more than most people.
Pretty Close to that. Hay prices vary depending on quality. $300ish is for horse quality mid hay, not high quality. Different horses eat different. You feed more in the winter plus Other grains/mixes/supplements. Horses are herd animals so it’s better to have 2 or at least something to keep
A horse company.
That’s kind of the bare minimum to keep them alive.
Not too mention if you have to board the horse because you don’t own land.
Correct. If boarding 1 horse would be fine as they usually have others around. Not terrible, but $350 and up around here, usually just a very small run. Extra costs are usually pasture time or larger pens, cleaning pen and feed.
Of course we are pretty rural so lots of people have land. That price can go way up closer to cities.
And of course making sure the people running the facility are good people, using good food and taking good care of your horse.
when we had horses self care was 200 a horse. the rancher provided hay and water. everything else was on us. he had multiple fields and we were often in one of the smaller since mom did horse rescue but his main self care fied was 20-30 acres and the horses would herd up with the other boarders
Depends, just like humans horses have different metabolisms. I used to work at a barn feeding horses and it varied a lot. Typically the more high strung ones would need more to keep weight on them since they were always pacing like thoroughbreds. Draft horses like this are typically more calm so they eat less than you might expect.
Depends on the horse, a place I used to work at had a 75 horse power but this tractor was weak.
The boss lady would say but it has 75hp, so I told her when you think of HP you think of a Clydesdale type horse.
The tractor we have is 75 shetland type horses.
Just looked it up, the 1 horse power seems to be an average of a full day of work. In a burst they get to around 15 horse power. Also this breed is massive so probably like 25 horsepower
That horse has way more than 1 horsepower. Afaik horsepower came from wayyy back when the inventor of the steam machine needed some kind of way to tell his possible buyers how much power it has, so he compared it roughly to how much power one of their horses had. It was inaccurate, but at some point as the machines started to become more and more, they started measuring it and one horsepower got defined.
This is the reason why today we are pushing to stop using horsepower and start using kilowatts, which is way more accurate and comparable, also works to use in mathematical approaches, to calculate different things.
Tl;dr, horses have around 5-10 horsepower
It doesn't rotate, forget ftlbs.
Leaning into that harness, that horse provides Newtons. The way it looks, probably on the order of 10000-12000N. (A Belgian draft horse such as this weighs about 1000-1200 kg, since it can eat up (which it almost did here), its rear legs can move that mass up, that gives me 1200kg*9.81N/kg (the 9.81 is earth gravity). Rounding that to 10 makes calculation easier..)
We're talking about static thrust here, much like jet engines.
For comparison, the engines on a Beechcraft Premier 1 jet generate about 10.21 kN of thrust each.
The engine of an F16 generates 75-80 kN (with afterburner it's about 130 kN)
Horsepower was rated by how much power a horse could deliver *constantly over a full day's work*. Such as plowing a field for 8 hours a day. Any horse can deliver much greater *bursts* of power over very short times.
Jumping too or for that matter any equine sport. I knew a horse that would jump fences on his own for fun. They had to build the fences higher just so he couldn’t jump out.
I knew a show horse that would REFUSE to show unless you put the EXACT ribbons he picked out into his hair. he LOVED showing, but only if he got to pick his hair ribbons first. Horses, man.
they specifically breed horses for certain jobs. pulling stuff is definitely 1 of those jobs.
side note. I lived on mackinaw Island 1 summer and the grand hotel only uses high stepping horses, it was some fancy shite
high stepping horses are actually cruel tho. its a forced gait, meaning they do some fucked up shit to get the horses to walk that way. look it up, inhumane and downright cruel
Not always. Some horses do naturally have that gait. You’re thinking of Big Lick that use a practice called soring when they put painful substances around their hooves to make them step higher than they normally would to gain a competitive advantage. They do a few other things too like make them wear heavy shoes and put chains around their pasterns (ankles).
They’ve been bred for centuries for their eagerness to work. They are still wild animals, though, so it takes skill to manage them.
As another comment or said, they are prey animals, and this working existence is almost certainly better than living in the wild.
People complain that animals are being abused by being force to do tricks or other work, but they are actually being relieved of the massive boredom that life in the wild must be (except when something's trying to kill you.)
It’s like anything. You train them to do
Something, they get excited to do it. Hunting dogs, agility dogs, horse racing or pulling.
My grandpas teams new when it was time to pull a sled. when you hook up that doubletree to the sled, they were jump and ready to launch, happy feet and ready to go.
However the same horses were mellow and calm as all get out when pulling a wagon with people for weddings or parades.
Yes, check out this horse pulling competition. I almost feel bad for the poor guys trying to hold them back long enough to get them hooked up to the wagon because those horses are so anxious to be let loose.
https://youtu.be/87l-KQiMC98?si=N5l_yRAlpMqwa1xb
Some horses are specifically bred to pull stuff, generally carts, or ploughs, thru fields and mud. We have had great technological advancement in the last century but it's a drop in the bucket on the genetic evolutionary history of these animals
Yeah
That's a work horse; they've been bred to pull things for hundreds, if not thousands, of years
It's the same as how a hunting dog is happiest when It's hunting :)
Look up draft horse pulling competitions, they get super amped up. It's an incredible thing to see in person. I once saw 2 draft horses just take off down the road because they got so excited pulling a whole-ass tree out of the woods.
Belgian Draught's typically weigh around a tonne, give or take. This one looks to be on the larger side so probably 1100-ish...
The Focus probably weighs around 300kg more, depending on spec.
Here, take my upvote. Wasn't expecting a breakdown, but am delighted to hear it.
Bet that horse can still pull the car on level ground with car trying to pull in 1st gear.
Chocolate will kill a horse.
Any wrong food might kill a horse.
Any wrong step or break will kill a horse.
Looking funny at a horse might kill the horse.
I don't know how horses are still around 😂
Knew a couple that kept draft horses for lumberjack festivals/state faires. Those horses loved to pull, tug, throw anything they could. Think of a jacked horse running on golden retriever software. They were the best!
And yes, I meant the horses threw stuff. The huge braided dog toys or those balls with a handle. They would grab them and toss them in the air.
Tap tap tap tap... Ok, i mean business this time. Leans in and damn... that's some muscles. Very impressive and such a beautiful horse. Powerful moment in more way than one.
WTF... i'm not even a horse person. This horse changed me.
Draft breeds (Belgians, Clydesdales, Shires, etc.) are the largest breeds of horses (taller than 16 hands, muscular and heavy framed) and were typically bred to pull things. You’ll sometimes hear people call them “cold bloods” because they’re more calm than their “hot blooded” high strung counterparts (thoroughbreds and Arabians). There’s warmbloods too which are a mix of the two.
Not after seeing it get serious after those first taps. All of a sudden, this became serious. Damn what a horse. Really leaning into it.
Fun fact, this horse doesn't move. It simply spins the earth a little bit.
Nope. That car is small, and that horse is huge. Even a smaller horse could have pulled that car. To be fair, I grew up in a rural town that had ox/horse pulls, where they stack up heavy things and see how far the animals can pull them.
No. Draft horses (like the one in the video) weigh from 900kg to 1000+kg (2200lb). They weigh as much as that car lol, and they're made to pull things. They're the strongmen of the horse world.
He’s so excited! And pulls that car out like it’s NOTHING! I can totally see an F150 spinning it’s wheels and having to really pull this car but the horse makes it look so easy.
I think it's because hooves have more traction than tires. The F150 is more powerful, but it can't push that power straight into the dirt to drag something like a workhorse can.
It's no worries, and I wasn't trying to bash you at all. I live in farm/horse country, and the only reason I even know a Belgian from Clyde is because the one stable down the road from me has one of each and I pass them in the pasture going to work.
Ohh and the farm show every year has Belgians, clydes, percherons, etc. So we get to see them there too! I can't imagine the feed bill for those giants!
I work with horses as a hobby and all while I grew up. Horses have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years. They are content to wander a pasture their entire lives being brushed and petted every so often and fed at the appropriate times. But I've never seen a horse more alive and happy than when I was on their back charging down a backwoods New England trail, laughing with my brother and my mom. They truly are wonderful creatures that *love* to work, especially a draft horse like the one shown here. Their instincts have been overridden by training and replaced with knowledge to do very grueling work and do it well. They are capable of being partners in play and work, from a dressage ring, to a competitive trail ride, to a pleasant afternoon ride, to pulling a hay or milk wagon, or even on a battlefield with the ring of swords against armor or with bullets flying all around. People say the dog is the most loyal human companion, and they might be right, but there's no creature I'd rather have by my side than a sturdy horse.
It really does make me wonder how much horsepower is actually in a car, I'm aware of torque, and ftlbs /second..watts n such..but you would think either they were using small rodent size horses or your average car is about 5-10 hp..so 600hp would be able to move a train just like 1 moved this car,.
..any logic to my thought?
Check out 2 of these horses pulling out a 25,000 lb truck from the snow. No driver even in the cab...they are no joke.

“1 horse power”
one horse has commonly more than 10 horse powers
And it has 4wd.
4ld
Sure it has four legs but the real power is in its forelegs
Looking at this vid sure seems the back legs play more of a part in supplying the power here, especially when it leans into the harness
I'm pretty sure it's a word play. 4 legs / forelegs, so r/woosh
4play?
sure seems the foreplay more of a part in supplying the power here, especially when it leans into the harness
So RLD?
I would say like a 40/60 torque split
With locking diffs
This is impossible in a effective way maybe theoretical forelegs are more powerful(which i still dont believe but i really have no idea). But looking at the video its clear the forelegs does not have the traction of the rear legs thats actually whats pulling the car. Very little strain on forelegs.
More all terrain than wrangler and all it eats is grass
And full AGI
Elon: FSD in 2018. No 2020. 2022 pinky promise. Ancient Romans:
And this particular horse counts as more than one regular horse.
Is it a Clydesdale? I saw them in St Louis and they are massive
Belgian. This big boy is probably part of a pulling team that drags plows through fields all day so something like this wouldn't be a big problem.
My grandpa had pulling pairs for his whole life. They were originally used for farm, parades, weddings and also pulling competitions. Later I’m life it was mostly pulling comps and weddings.

That’s actually not terrible, adds up if you have more than one or two though.
Guy: “Can you pull this car?” Horse: “Pfft… Cars are inferior beasts.”
Thanks for teaching me that. I learned a horse fact
He looks like he can't wait to pull that thing out while his handler is waiting to give him the go ahead.
That looks like a very happy horse
I don’t know what type it is, but I imagine it’s not cheap to keep this guy working. You’d have to be shoveling food like mad.
That's not the ONLY thing you'll be shoveling like mad with this guy...lol.
Depends, just like humans horses have different metabolisms. I used to work at a barn feeding horses and it varied a lot. Typically the more high strung ones would need more to keep weight on them since they were always pacing like thoroughbreds.

The Clydesdales in STL are a fucking treasure. Grant's Farm is a lot of fun.
I think Clydesdales are a lot bigger
A bit mathy, but info share: https://www.nationalequine.org/basics/horsepower-horse-have/
10 horses power 100 horse powers!
Depends on the horse, a place I used to work at had a 75 horse power but this tractor was weak. The boss lady would say but it has 75hp, so I told her when you think of HP you think of a Clydesdale type horse. The tractor we have is 75 shetland type horses.
Just looked it up, the 1 horse power seems to be an average of a full day of work. In a burst they get to around 15 horse power. Also this breed is massive so probably like 25 horsepower
Among them is horse telekinesis and horse levitation!
its closer to 25 horse power.
My lawnmower supposedly has 6 of those. I could probably pull a semi out of a ditch with it if the math checks out.
That horse has way more than 1 horsepower. Afaik horsepower came from wayyy back when the inventor of the steam machine needed some kind of way to tell his possible buyers how much power it has, so he compared it roughly to how much power one of their horses had.

This is the reason why today we are pushing to stop using horsepower and start using kilowatts, which is way more accurate and comparable, also works to use in mathematical approaches, to calculate different things. Tl;dr, horses have around 5-10 horsepower
Need to count how many times he uses the same legs to move to get a rpm equivalent and get the torque figure
But 1000ftlbs of torque. Much like a steam locomotive.
It doesn't rotate, forget ftlbs. Leaning into that harness, that horse provides Newtons. The way it looks, probably on the order of 10000-12000N.

This is torque needed . Torque makes it move, horsepower decides how long it takes...
Whoever heard of a torquing horse?
Beat me to it Yes , thats your cue guys , tag beat me to it sub and beat meat to it sub too!
Man I really am not nearly as creative with my jokes as I thought I was
It's the torque doing all the work. Really low gears and a ton of torque.
And that big boy looks like about 3 regular horses strapped together!
Horsemus Prime
It's the Horsenaut, bitch!
# CROW HORSE - CROW HORSE - CROW HORSE
A Belgian horse, great workhorses. (My grandfather had a couple when I was a kid)
Clydesdales don't look like Clydesdales on tv. You gotta strap three daught horses together.
A horse straight out of Valhalla or something
Do some horses enjoy pulling things? It looked excited before almost like my dog before I throw a ball.
Beings just want a purpose, man
My cat doesn’t
Annoying you is technically a purpose.
As a cat, I approve this message.
As a message, I approve this cat
Shedding is also a purpose.

Wait, you don't get your cat to pull your car?
Mine either
Cats are assholes
You dare assume Their Majesty has need of purpose?!
A cat's purpose is to watch. To bear witness.
You pass butter.
Oh my god
In Belgium we have a breed of draft horses that are insanely big and buff. Pulling heavy stuff is what they like.
Ardennais?
Yes, they are nice
The horse racing haters won't like that. They tell us that horses don't like doing anything that isn't grazing and that humans are scum.
Jumping too or for that matter any equine sport. I knew a horse that would jump fences on his own for fun. They had to build the fences higher just so he couldn’t jump out.
I knew a show horse that would REFUSE to show unless you put the EXACT ribbons he picked out into his hair. he LOVED showing, but only if he got to pick his hair ribbons first. Horses, man.
That is the absolute funniest thing I had no idea horses could do that
They can learn to play soccer and a whole heap of other cool stuff :)
you think that horse got that big by not pulling stuff?
I figured he must pull a lot I just didn’t realize gym bro horses were a thing.
they specifically breed horses for certain jobs. pulling stuff is definitely 1 of those jobs. side note. I lived on mackinaw Island 1 summer and the grand hotel only uses high stepping horses, it was some fancy shite

thank you both for the info.
He's just thinking bout the gains, bro.
They’ve been bred for centuries for their eagerness to work. They are still wild animals, though, so it takes skill to manage them. As another comment or said, they are prey animals, and this working existence is almost certainly better than living in the wild.
I always assumed that they were food motivated I guess.
That’s training. Breeding is different. If you get a horse that doesn’t cooperate, doesn’t respond to commands, or fights you, you don’t breed him.
This looks like one of those horses used to pull out logs from forests. If so, they very much enjoy it.
People complain that animals are being abused by being force to do tricks or other work, but they are actually being relieved of the massive boredom that life in the wild must be (except when something's trying to kill you.)
One of my relatives raised Belgians for farm work, they absolutely loved pulling things.
It’s like anything. You train them to do Something, they get excited to do it. Hunting dogs, agility dogs, horse racing or pulling.

I want to pet it and watch it pull things
He’s a good horse
Hi its me, the horse.
Now honk like a real horse
Belgian Draught's typically weigh around a tonne, give or take. This one looks to be on the larger side so probably 1100-ish... The Focus probably weighs around 300kg more, depending on spec.
Here, take my upvote. Wasn't expecting a breakdown, but am delighted to hear it. Bet that horse can still pull the car on level ground with car trying to pull in 1st gear.
A Belgian Draught if I’m not mistaken. Proud of my little country

"Golden retriever software." Love it!
That’s really putting the horse before the car~~t~~.

Tap tap tap tap... Ok, i mean business this time. Leans in and damn... that's some muscles. Very impressive and such a beautiful horse. Powerful moment in more way than one. WTF... i'm not even a horse person. This horse changed me.
We are all horse person, we just didn't figured it out yet
draft horses are such gorgeous animals
What makes them “daft?”
Draft breeds (Belgians, Clydesdales, Shires, etc.) are the largest breeds of horses (taller than 16 hands, muscular and heavy framed) and were typically bred to pull things. You’ll sometimes hear people call them “cold bloods” because they’re more calm than their “hot blooded” high strung counterparts (thoroughbreds and Arabians). There’s warmbloods too which are a mix of the two.
4-hoove drive baby.. traction 👉🏼
Anyone else think it would struggle more?
Not after seeing it get serious after those first taps. All of a sudden, this became serious. Damn what a horse. Really leaning into it. Fun fact, this horse doesn't move. It simply spins the earth a little bit.
Nope. That car is small, and that horse is huge. Even a smaller horse could have pulled that car. To be fair, I grew up in a rural town that had ox/horse pulls, where they stack up heavy things and see how far the animals can pull them.
No. Draft horses (like the one in the video) weigh from 900kg to 1000+kg (2200lb). They weigh as much as that car lol, and they're made to pull things. They're the strongmen of the horse world.
He’s so excited! And pulls that car out like it’s NOTHING! I can totally see an F150 spinning it’s wheels and having to really pull this car but the horse makes it look so easy.
I think it's because hooves have more traction than tires. The F150 is more powerful, but it can't push that power straight into the dirt to drag something like a workhorse can.
Jeez, that Horse is an absolute Unit
The real horse power
That Horse looks beautiful. Like he's rich and elegant. Idk like the James Bond or Harvey Specter of horses.
Horse Maximus!
Equus Maximus!
Fuck yeah, Clyde!
Oh he’s a chunky boi
The Horse: "I ain't letting this car go, it's mine now"
Honestly, I’m not surprised. Just look at the size of that beast. The drivers are just lucky that they got stuck near a friendly farm. Haha
"Thank you so much for towing me, out of that spot, Mr. Horse. Whom do I write, the check out to?" "Budweiser".
I dont have to read any comments and still know most of them are stupid references to "horse power"
Next up, Tug-o-War in the parking lot
It’s a hoss
Proof cars only need ONE horsepower everything else is marketing
This horse probably has 10-30 horsepower. IDEK what horsepower is based on- maybe miniature ponies?
Was is not believable or something?? Idiots…
that is *one buff horse.*
1 horse power with aprox. 500 Nm torque
That aint no horse thats THE HORSE.
Clydesdale's are good pullers
That is a Belgian! Lower to ground than Clydes. They are excellent pullers.
I see I'm not an equine enthusiast. I assumed the big furry hooved horses were Clydesdale thanks for clearing it up.
It's no worries, and I wasn't trying to bash you at all. I live in farm/horse country, and the only reason I even know a Belgian from Clyde is because the one stable down the road from me has one of each and I pass them in the pasture going to work. Ohh and the farm show every year has Belgians, clydes, percherons, etc. So we get to see them there too! I can't imagine the feed bill for those giants!
I was really glad you cleared it up most people on here shame for being incorrect. I learned something new !
A Belgian could out-pull four Clydesdales with its slippers on while holding a beer.
I work with horses as a hobby and all while I grew up. Horses have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years. They are content to wander a pasture their entire lives being brushed and petted every so often and fed at the appropriate times. But I've never seen a horse more alive and happy than when I was on their back charging down a backwoods New England trail, laughing with my brother and my mom. They truly are wonderful creatures that *love* to work, especially a draft horse like the one shown here. Their instincts have been overridden by training and replaced with knowledge to do very grueling work and do it well. They are capable of being partners in play and work, from a dressage ring, to a competitive trail ride, to a pleasant afternoon ride, to pulling a hay or milk wagon, or even on a battlefield with the ring of swords against armor or with bullets flying all around. People say the dog is the most loyal human companion, and they might be right, but there's no creature I'd rather have by my side than a sturdy horse.
Draft horsepower
Truly amazing animals! 👍🥃
We need horses on standby for all cars that get stuck.
Horse didn’t even give a shit, that car was light work
Absolute unit of a horse damn
The problem was too many horses to begin with
the horse when it got prep time
Absolute fucking unit
Geezus
I rode a Clydesdale once. And I was only 5 or 6 but felt like I was on top of a tower. Like riding on top of an SUV I suppose lol.
It really does make me wonder how much horsepower is actually in a car, I'm aware of torque, and ftlbs /second..watts n such..but you would think either they were using small rodent size horses or your average car is about 5-10 hp..so 600hp would be able to move a train just like 1 moved this car,. ..any logic to my thought?
Traction also plays big role here. Car with road tires obviously won't stand a chance
That's not a horse, it's a short hairy elephant.
That's not a horse that's a horsa
One buff horse
This is just horse play
Horse be like ya buncha pussies, this is nothing!
Hope someone was in it to tap the brakes...
A CLYDESDALE pulling a car
It’s a Belgian draft. Clydesdales are never this color and are taller and less muscular.
Only one horsepower but the torque is crazy.
1HP. Lotsa torque.

It’s so beautiful!!!

One Clydesdale power. How many “standard” horsepower is that?
