I have had horses almost my whole life and I have never heard of a horse tractor. There are tractors used on ranches or farms such as small tractors with a bucket on the front for scooping manure and bedding. Maybe this is what you are thinking of. This same tractor can be attached to a 'drag' and can be used to groom or drag riding arenas. There are many uses for this type of tractor on horse farms.
