Belgian Draft Horses

The Belgian Draft Horse is one of the heaviest of the Drafts.  They originated in Belgium where the government actively promotes their breeding and development.  The stallions which stand for public service must be approved by a commission appointed by the government.  In this county the Belgian sire has been valuable in improving the draft conformation of our horse stock.

Belgians are the most compact of all breeds, their bodies being short, wide and deep.  They average about 17 hands in height and a docile temperament that makes them easy to handle.  Colors that are common to the Belgian are bay, chestnut, sorrel and roan, but browns, grays and blacks are occasionally seen.  A color that is very popular today is the light sorrel known as "blonde".  They often have white markings on the face and feet, along with a white main and tail.

Other Draft Breeds are Shires, Percherons, Clydesdales, and Suffolk plus many more.
