Hoping thousands of spectators would be there,he readied this draft horse for the Fair.

Known for brute power rather than speed,it is truly an awesome steed.

Now and then a team may be seen on the road,usually pulling a heavy load.

Of the horse, the young man seems truly fond;and between the two is an obvious bond.

He knows that with intense training and care,he may win a blue ribbon at the Fair.

Regardless, the horse stands out in the crowd,and would make his Belgian ancestors proud.
