Now for many people, swine flu is the strain of flu they catch during the flu season. The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of other strains of seasonal flu: 1  Temperature over 38C/100.4F. 2  Unusual tiredness.  Headache.
Clydesdales, Percherons, Belgians, Suffolks and the largest breed of horse, the Shire, all belong to the draft horse group. Draft horses are gentle giants that are employed to pull heavily loaded plows or carts. The Shire originated in England and was developed in the 1800s. The massive horse stands between 5 and 6 feet tall, and a Shire stallion can weigh more than 2,000 pounds. Like the Clydesdale, the Shireâs legs display long, feathered hair. Shire horses come in bay, roan, black, chestnut, gray or brown with white markings. The Shire has a mellow disposition and is less active than some other horse breeds. Shire horses still are used for draft work.
The average Draft Horse is about 18 hands high or 18 hh. This is multiplied by 4 inches to equal 72 inches, or 6 feet tall from hoof to withers. The average height of a Clydesdale ranges from 16 to 18 hh, while Belgian horses are around 16 hh.
