Zeus was purchased
at 4 years old in
Whitneys Point NY.
We bought
Zeus to pull
sleighs at Nestlenook with Fred, another
Belgian who weighs 2500 lbs. When
Zeus was 4 yrs old
he was 20 hands and
2400 lbs.
He grew to be 21 hands and tipped
the scales at 3000 lbs!
He was broke for
riding but no equipment fit him.
He loved people and his place at the
Castle. In the Summer of 2013 he was
diagnosed with a muscle disease called
type 1 pssm. Sadly complications
from this disease took him away from us
that winter ... way too soon. You were
admired and loved by all. We will never
forget you Zeus. |
