Original Toronto Star caption: Kevin Meyers; 5; has a lot of horsepower under control as he holds two Belgian draft horses owned by his grandfather; Doug Palmer; of Schomberg; on a short leash. Powerful draft animals like these will go through their paces at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto tomorrow night but the more glamorous riding horses steal the show. Fanciers of heavy horses would like more promotion of their breeds - Belgians; Percheron and Clydesdale.
