Draft Horses
Percheron
Heavy horses include draft horses and
coach horses. Draft horses were developed in the Middle Ages as the heavy
chargers ridden into battle by armor-clad knights. They were later used to pull
plows and heavy wagons and perform other farm work; they have largely been
displaced in the 20th century by tractors. Draft horse breeds include the
Clydesdale, Belgian, Percheron, and Shire. Coach horses were bred for pulling
large carriages and for light farm work. The Cleveland Bay is an example of a
typical coach horse breed.
