For centuries, draft horses powered farms, cities, forests, and trade routes.
Before engines and fuel, heavy work depended on living strength — animals that pulled, endured, and worked within natural limits.
This video explores what happened to draft horses when machines replaced animal labor, and how that transition changed not only transportation and agriculture, but the pace and structure of work itself.
There is no nostalgia here — only observation.
A look at how strength once moved at the speed of breath, and how progress learned to move without it.
