People often times forget how things were done a century ago. These animals were used for logging timber and carting material. With the power of 15 men each horse its no surprise they could move that semi. Beautiful task done by an amazing animal!

@@prehistoriccreature1800 Because we have existing records of how much some breeds have actually pulled, how they were worked (two-in hand, four-in hand, solo ect) and then that would be calculated into rough human power.

That is so special. My Grandfather told and retold about the time a semi (this year's and years ago) got stuck in the mud near Eastlake and Lawler Minnesota. It was the same thing. The driver went looking for help but at that time nobody had a tractor. Grandpa said I have a team of horses that that can really pull. The driver said no way they could pull him out. Grandpa had made an evener out of an oak 2X6. They snapped that so they hooked them direct to the frame. They started to pull and their bellies we're almost on the ground. The driver said to stop that it was going to work when the horses felt it give a little. He told the driver they felt it move and he didn't think he could have stopped them it he tried. They got it out. Then it was the same conversation about selling them or traveling around to fairs competing in horse pulls. That was Prince and Queenie. It was a little unique because Prince was a stallion. It is great to see story in real live. Thank you.

Growing up my Uncle had a team of Belgians one Moxy the other Molly. Molly gave birth of Prince. That was many many years ago. But I remember those horses like it was yesterday. They are truly gentle giants.

Its incredible how much two horses can accomplish when working together!

These are Big Powerful animals. Kudos to the awesome job. Notice the one on the left nudging their owner. They are obviously loved and well cared for.

My grandfather ran a team of two horses plowing the fields, they're amazing animals.

"I am pritty proud of them" He loves his Horses! What a fantastic team!

my great grandfather always said you've never seen horsepower until you scare one.

once had a group of them running circles in the field and heading to a fence , the first one jumped it as the one behind was not slowing down. it legit looked around in a "the boss is not gonna like this" as he stood on the other field.

My mom told me about my great-grandfather who would camp out in the woods of Northern WI with his horse team (1920s-40s) so they could log and fell trees. The house he lived in didn't have electricity or plumbing. Neat family/equine history.

THAT was beautiful!! Thank you Jacob, your team is priceless!

Horses like Molly and Prince are strong enough to pull a vehicle out of the snow

I guess that's where the term "horsepower" came from, in rating engine power. I know it takes a lot of work maintaining and training a team, and these two horses are amazing creatures.

Susan, James Watt first used the term horsepower to rate the capacity of his steam engines. A horse working hard will develop approximately one horsepower over a day's work although it can develop up to 15 horsepowers over a short time.

My friend had two draft horses and when he needed one ( the bigger one) the other one got jealous and got in between the bigger horse and the owner.They were in competition with each other, plus they love to work.

No auto company will ever put out horsepower like that

"Somebody asked the other day, how much I want for this team" Correct answer would be "I don't sell family."

Fantastic performance indeed with 2 - LIVE Horsepower ......!! Well done Prince & Molly.....!

@teresahiggs4896

Yep, my dad used a team of mules to plough and work peoples gardens in rural East Tennessee, In the Appalachian mountains…in the 1960’s and 1970’s. People would have these gardens on the sides of a hill! Tractors would tip over , and people didn’t have or couldn’t afford anything like the little rototillers we use today . My dad would hitch up Leroy and Judge and off he’d go. I loved to go with him and he’d toss me up onto these big mules backs after they were finished ….and I felt like I was on top of the world! I loved being around these mules and they seemed to understand I was a child and were always so gentle around me. I’d have to stand on a step stool to be able to reach their back so I could brush them after they’d worked all day. I can remember sitting astride one of them, laying back with my head on their rump , cloud watching and then just falling asleep while they grazed . Never felt safer or more at ease .

Horses were the golden years of power and transportation.

The real way to see Horse Power not the complicated and confusing way they use to see it in motors 👊👊✊✊

So great! Maybe this situation is symbolic for the solution of many modern times problems: To remember the natural power of horses, water, wind and sun.

Their names are icing on the cake, haha. Well done Molly and Princess, you are very pretty girls.

People should look up how horse power was originally calibrated: as the steady work rate a horse could sustain over a long period eg ploughing a field. A strong horse can deliver much more than 1hp in short bursts. But expect the horses somehow found a bit of vital grip where the truck had virtually none. Once the truck wasn't polishing snow under its tyres in a fixed spot, it could make some contribution itself.

Amazing!! Who knew they could accomplish such feat (with a semi truck) ! Yep, I wouldn't part ways with them either...... they are family!!

They are powerful My Belgian has jumped out the felid over 5”5” fence 3 ft spread from electric fence line in front. That’s one big oxer. Powerful!!

Beautiful team of Belgian Draft Horses!

Of all the gifts the LORD gave us from the animals to help is with our work, the horse is my favorite. They're really super!

Beautiful team , they love to work

Beautiful and powerful beasts!

Real horsepower and the best 4x4s made

Just went and watched a video of horses pulling a semi out thats actually badass

Horses are a very smart animal under proper supervision.🇺🇸🐻

Poor horses, two is not enough. Brave horses.

Crushed black walnut shells is best to get you going on an icy surface. These shells are so hard and sharp-edged they grip both the ice and the rubber.

Those must be very strong work horses. Priceless by far.

A team is awesome horses….Never underestimate the power of a great team of horses..

amazing strength......

That's why it is called horsepower.

That's nice that they bring the horses into the house at the end of the day. Nice people.

Magnificent awesome incredulous beautiful powerful majestic loveable kindness 🎉🎉🎉🎉

well those arent regular horses there Belgian. Literally the peak performance version of horses

He'll yeah that's where all the loggers come from in W.V. I like it brings a tear to my eyes them horse's are smarter than sum people these days

Truly horsepower

Amazing Horses. Amazing. So beautiful

Truck and horse combined into one Big Mac at the next downhill

Just look at these big powerful boys go!

Truly a magical beast

WELL that's 2 horsepower for ya.

Awesome Horses

My Dad told me about when he was a kid getting up in the morning giving the horses a bucket of oats and they'd be raring to go, and loved to work. As a long time rider, it saddens me greatly that everyday there are less and less horses in the world. And of those that are left, an ever higher percentage butchered for meat.

Hence the two words, horse power

Amazing!

Unbelievable so strong . God bless .

Real horse power :-D

Fantastic!

🐴 Whatever their gender, whatever they're pulling, draft horses are the best Drag Queens!! 😉

the real horsepower

Yes a horse can pull a elephant. Scientifically it proved...

Maybe they should have started bringing out teams of horses to all those ppl stuck out on that Virginia highway

Those Budweiser Clydesdales have nothing on Prince and Molly. They say hold my beer and watch how it's done.

Now that’s horsepower 🐴🐎

I love it

If the truck driver couldn't make it up the hill he must have been loaded lite or empty. Of course my rig weights 33900 lbs empty. That's still a lot of weight for the horses to pull.

The original f-150s

If these horses can pull a 30 ton truck and trailer up a 5 degree slope on an icy road, imagine them pulling a 350 ton locomotive or jumbo jet over a perfectly level surface a few dozen feet. Their main obsticle would be traction on an airport tarmac or safe footing near the tracks.
