Sorry for the stupid question.
I'm not a horse person, but I always loved those belgian horses, tha big ones for heavy duties. I noticed they got some attentions on YT recently, and I started to wonder why they aren't popular for riding.
Of course they're slower I guess, but maybe not all the person would cares about riding fast. Are they difficult to ride maybe?
I ride a Belgian cross a lot and he is really wide and not the comfiest to ride. He also isn't that fast, so he'd do poorly in competitions.
What makes him not comfy? How os the character of that horse?
And yes, I don't believe anybody could compete with those horses! They're made for work.
But if you look at horses like people look at dogs, so in a way totally disconnected from their selection, I guess many would like to have a huge Belgian or Romanian, cause they look great and many doesn't care to compete in anything, they just want a bulky lovely chunk of animal to hug, love and spoil.
