BINGO!!

Those Coors draft horses I saw at the rodeo WERE Percherons. I knew
"Belgian" didn't sound quite right. Googling for coors and horse and such,
it appears Coors did use Belgians primarily, but I know for a fact the one's
at the Livermore Rodeo were Percherons because the signs said so, all 2200
lbs of them. I've yet to see a horse that big, again. Wow.
