John,
Thank you. Originally I had been told that Circus Barcelona meant "flying mushroom". When I inquired what the mushrooms were flying up, they dummied up, and wouldn't say anymore. So you are probably right.

I think these are Brabants, the Euro cousins of Belgians. They come in a bunch of color variations, and are shorter stockier draft horses. We had a couple that were blue speckled (I think thats called blue roan) when I was a kid in PA. My uncle showed them at horse pulling competitions.
