    Jim from Working Horses with Jim just had his Suffolk Punch stallion gelded, but prior to that had the stallion's semen frozen to sell, it's still available as of this date. His Suffolk Barron is a gorgeous horse. Too bad they couldn't contact Jim.

    The Suffolk punch horse isn’t a species to itself. It’s a breed of horse.

    Nowadays, in order to survive, the horse breed must have recreational value. Being able to ride is what can promote ownership and drive the breed numbers up. It is not what the breed was originally developed for, but it is something, that may give it a path into the future.

    Thank you for sharing. I love the heavy horses. At one time I rode Clydesdales. The owners also taught me how to train to drive in 4 and 8 horse teams. It’s always great to learn more about the different breeds. Thanks again 😊

    The goals of the preservationists breeders are to be honored. Now that I watched the whole clip, I've became more aware. The stallion was a stunning gent. And, the foals, of course are very comely. Thank you for the video.

    I got to ride a Suffolk several years ago. She was very sweet and very willing. Unfortunately, they weren't able to handle the size of carriage needed to carry visitors, so they switched to American Belgians.

    No, he sets boundries, he will pet her on his time. Horses are big and powerful. You must set boundries even subtiel ones. And btw try giving an interview with an animal next to you🙄

    @@HomeCast-td2tu I used to break horses for a living and never once did I shove a horse away when it was offering affection. Oh,have you done an itnerview with a horse next to you? A horse showing affection while someone is filming an interview should just be smiled at and and responded to. It only makes the person look good in that the animal wants to be friendly to them. If you push a horse away eventually they stop being warm to you and you lose that precious bit and they just become something you use rather than a real friend.

    It’s not a species!!!!!!!!!! It’s a breed. The definition of a species is that it can’t breed with a creature that is not its species: a dog can’t breed with a cat. They are two different species.
