Alaskan Clydesdale

You might enjoy this email I received this morning:

Only in Alaska… 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… impressive!

It’s obvious that this is a Photoshopped image (at least it is in the larger version of the image in the email), but it’s well done, and fun anyway 🙂 Urban Legends Guide David Emery has posted a good report on the evolution of this email.
