Art - hefferbody needs a hobby. At least you aren't freisian them like Damien Hurst.
My granfer used to work horses (got photos to prove it!), they were called Castor and Pollux and Pollux would only go if my mother were riding him. Seems this little 3yr old tot could get him to do anything just by asking 'nice horsey go there'. I'm off to visit my aunt and her horse this afternoon.. I'll report back with what she says to get him to move.
We used to have a champion heavy horse living in the field at the bottom of our road, his name was Prince and he won prizes for being the biggest horse alive then. His owner would walk him up the road every fine Saturday so he could graze the banks and traffic island (big triangle of grass). I seem to recall he used 'come on up yer bugger'.
