A detailed overview of one of the most docile draft horses in the world today. Karen Gruner briefly explains their history and relationship with the American Belgian then guides us through conformation features of the breed including proportions and feathering. She also considers some of the potential conformation problems and skin condition characteristic to the breed. A calm filly in the early stages of harness training demonstrates the characteristic willingness of the breed, and two stallions provide impressive footage of the Brabant at work.

This DVD will convince you that Brabants are well suited to a wide range of tasks on a small diversified farm.
