Home on the Range on the Alberta/Saskatchewan Border

Today, driving through and beyond Cypress Hill Inter-Provincial Park (we were on the Alberta side, but the park is in Saskatchewan, too), we came across this classic Home on the Range scene:

Horses. White. Brown. Black. White and black. By a watering hole in dry grasses, among gently rolling hills... No, merely gently rolling rises of land.

What is this? A scene with horses grazing on a ranch by a lake in Southern Alberta, under heavy skies... along the Saskatchewan border. 
Location: Near the edge of the West Block, Cypress Hills Inter-Provincial Park (Alberta and Saskatchewan) .

Exercising the Draft Horses

The weather has been lovely for walks, drives — and exercing the horses. I saw this pair of Belgians with their owner near Lumsdan, Saskatchewan. 

"Beautiful day," he called at me across the field. "Just exercising the horses."

What a team! 

The seat/man are hidden behind the left horse. 

What are these? Belgian Draft Horses .    
Location: In a field along Highway 641, south of Lumsden, Saskatchewan, not long before going down the hill.
