Horses are very inteligent, my uncle in Sweden had potatoe patch on a hill, the tractor could not handle the slope too steep, the Clydesdale had no bridle just the collar to pull the potatoe rake, at the end of the west rows we had to lift the rake and the horse would go 90 uphill until the rake cleared the row and would back down to start the eastward uphill row, the rake had two wheels, did not need to tell him anything he did the whole operation with out having to tell him anything.
We also used the hay wagon, that one could turn on its own length the horse would walk sideways until he pointed in the direction that he came in, beautiful horse we only used verbal comands or had signals if needed.
For Christmas time we used the sleigh, the horse loved pulling the girls, they cheated my aunt would give the girls apples to bribe him, we also cut the emergency fire wood in winter, work sleigh and horse to pull the trees out, can not do it in Summer to boggy.
The horses name was Thor.
