Minnesota Clydesdale...

NOT something you see everyday...
Only in Nordern Minnesnowta! 

 This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home smiling...


All I can do is just smile at this one...

Ah crap... It's a photoshop... http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/workmoose.asp

Thanks to Sean for pointing this out... Now I feel REALLY stupid...

    We all know there is a ton of fake stuff out there on the internet, but sometimes a pic shows up that DOES bring a smile to your face. Just think ... what if!

    Sometime in the late 18th to early 19th century, there were long gone plans to create a moose cavalry... or so the story goes. The idea was certainly there.

    It's actually been done at least a couple of times. At the bottom the Snopes article they point this out and provided this link:
