I also remember the Georges cart horses they were massive. and won many competions. I dont recall seeing any horses like those now

My mom used to do that with the manure also when the horse left a deposit in the alley behind our house. Her roses were magnificent.

My grandfather was a drayman for the Anheuser-Busch beer company; I have a pic showing those huge horses: were they Clydesdales?

Our neighbouring farm have shire horses. They were sponsored by our local brewery, they look magnificent in their harnesses with the horse brasses gleaming. they travel in an enormous horse box, its like an articulated lorry!
