A draft horse is a large, strong breed of horse specifically bred for heavy work, such as pulling plows, wagons, and other farm equipment. These horses are known for their muscular build, calm temperament, and ability to perform strenuous tasks. Common breeds of draft horses include the Clydesdale, Percheron, and Belgian. Draft horses typically stand between 16 to 18 hands tall and can weigh over 1,500 pounds. They have a broad chest, powerful legs, and often feature feathering on their lower legs. Due to their strength and gentle nature, draft horses are also popular in recreational activities, such as carriage driving and parades.
