2:25 where the sled operator throws his hat down, priceless.
Never seen one before, but I doubt my dad would have been impressed. He had a team that he could control totally by voice. When he was selling them, the prospective buyer did not think they would pull hard, so my dad brought them to an 8 foot cottonwood tree stump. He hooked them up and gave them the command to pull. Both of them leaned into the harness and each left 4 full stride hoofprint scrapes. After 2 steps each, he told them "That's enough" and they stopped. He let them rest a few seconds and told them to pull again. 8 fresh furrows appeared. These were Belgians with hooves 8 to 10 inches across.
