Unverifiable:
----------------
The record set for a two horse team is 52 tonne. This was set by 2 clydsdales pulling a sled with logs on it across snow.
Verifiable:
-------------
However since 52 tonne's is equal to about 104,000 lbs this record is questionable. In the sport of horsepulling in which horses pull against a dynometer more recent verifiable records have teams of two horses pulling around 5,000 lbs.
Common Motivational Story:
-----------------------------------
There is a common motivational story which is used to outline what can be accomplished by teamwork. The anecdote goes something along the lines of: "One horse can pull a ton, but when you have two horses they can pull 27 tons." No evidence has been shown to verify this motivation story.

Well this would depend on the horses weight. A horse should be fed 1 % up to 3% of it's body weight. Since a Belgian typically weighs between 1800 and 2200 pounds that means the horse could be fed anything from 18 pounds to 66 pounds of feed. With a draft horse it's best to try and start at about 2.5% of the body weight in feed and then adjust up or down from there as needed.
