Any mention of this Montana story also requires a nod to Tonk, an 18-hander that, around here, would be referred to a a BFH.

Will Success spoil Erin Bolster?
Let's hope not. Any 19 25-year-old beauty who will aim her horse at a charging grizzly to save a little boy is a woman you young guys should be fighting to court. You just have to trust Providence that she's looking at her Letterman gig as a lark rather than a ticket to celebrity hood.

BFH?
Big ... eerrr, Fine, yeah ... Fine is the adjective in front of Horse.
Eighteen hands is a near-monster. Erin thinks it may be a quarter-horse/percheron cross.
Oh. I should have known that.
One look at Tonk's hooves tells you he has some draft in him. BFH really. JAGSC
When Lisa was a kid, gaming and showing her Arab, the draft horse revival was getting underway here, and I loved the docile brutes. Belgins and Percherons predominated.
Somewhere in the distant past, somebody we knew kept a retired drafter, just for us kids to ride. Talk about your gentle giant...
One of my favorite horses at the ranch where The Little Girl has her lessons was a monster of a Clydesdale, nearly all black with a bit of a white blaze. Hercules (how apropos) always made a point to greet me when I came into the barn.
His owners finally acquired enough property to take him home. Great horse. Also, great horse.
