The draft horse,a living artifact of a rural past, continues to perform a role in the ongoing relationship between humans and horses. Giant Horses, a 30 minute documentary, examines the unique working relationship between human and domesticated animal within the current and traditional context of horse pulling; and addresses the controversial question, What is abuse?" DVD. 28 minutes, 1993. |
