“Thundering hooves.” You’ve undoubtedly heard that phrase used to describe the sound of Thoroughbred racehorses galloping down the homestretch. But those dainty little equines probably sound like a light spring rain compared with the Shires competing at Lingfield Park Racecourse in Great Britain earlier this month. The two-furlong (quarter-mile) race was staged to raise awareness of the breed, which is considered “at-risk” by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.

I came back to see it and I love it! I wish I could race my percheron like this.
WOW! That is SO cool! I’m glad they’ve come up with a kind of racing for the big guys to do. 🙂
