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 foundation mare of the American Cream Draft breed was Old Granny,â a mare that was purchased in 1911 at a horse auction in Iowa. Genetic testing has shown that the American Cream Draftâs unique coloring is not the result of the cream gene, which produces palomino horses, but rather the champagne gene.
