I had the pleasure of photographing this epic animal the Heavy Horse, or Brabant; a horse breed that comes from the West-Brabantian region of Belgium.
They are one of the strongest of the heavy breeds. The world's largest horse was a Brabant named Brooklyn Supreme, who weighed 3,200 pounds, and stood at 19.2 hands. On average the Brabant will grow to be slightly over 1 ton or 2,000 pounds. Colors normally are a blond with a brighter mane, or a sorrel/ chestnut coloring.
In history their main use was to work farms. They are able to pull tremendous amounts of weight-up to over 4,500 pounds for a pair.
I hope I've done him justice. This was taken on a stud farm in West Flanders, Belgium.

Incredible animal and well captured. Thanks for the narrative too!
A good mono capture with good dof, and the overcast sky adds to the picture too.

Thanks everyone. Anthony, I hope the bits of straw and the churned mud plus the low angle give a sense of scale.
Cracking capture and the mono treatment really accentuates the horse detail. Chaz.
