Video: 28-Horse Hitch

Never has the ‘Star Wars’ Imperial March been more appropriately played at an equine event.

While my German is a little rusty, what I can gather from the handy “translate” button is that this massive team of 28 horses consists of mares, geldings and four stallions, pulling what appears to be a historically-modeled or restored coach. Despite the huge distance between the leaders and the driver, this team trots all the way around the arena like they do this every day.

I get the impression that this team would carry itself just as nicely whether it was set up in a modest 6 or this gargantuan 28. Shout out to the driver and support crew for such a nicely-presented team!
